In Ifa Divination, this Odu emphasizes the importance of inner transformation, warning against the misuse of personal will that can lead to egotism. It teaches the value of humility and the need to consider the perspectives of others, encouraging individuals to harness their strength wisely for personal growth and positive change.

Obara

Obara, the Resting and Hovering One - embodies the essence of strength or the spirit of resilience. However, when strength is misapplied, it can manifest as an attempt to impose ones will on others. 

Ifa teaches that this inappropriate exercise of personal will is rooted in egotism, which arises from an inflated self-perception. 

This egotism stands in stark contrast to humility, which involves a genuine openness to the perspectives of others.
