Otura Meji represents peace, harmony, love, and light, achieved through a deep reflection of the mind, heart, and soul. It leads to discovering the infinite wisdom, power, and resources needed to fulfill both our earthly and spiritual destinies.
Achieving inner harmony allows us to gain spiritual enlightenment and divine awareness, enabling us to rebuild our lives in accordance with spiritual laws and guidance.
Living by spiritual and divine principles brings harmony, peace, and love into our journey on earth. When the mind and soul are in a state of peace, it paves the way for abundant wealth, success, and progress in the physical world.
According to Ifá, a person of peace is someone who possesses the earth and understands the spiritual laws that govern existence, which is the essence of Otura Meji.
When one embodies these spiritual qualities—peace, harmony, love, and honor—as part of their daily life and character, they amplify and spread the culture of peace. This double expression of peace is what Otura Meji signifies.
Ifá teaches that inner harmony leads to optimism and prosperity in life, generating courage, hope, enthusiasm, confidence, and happiness in all aspects—physical, spiritual, mental, and divine.
Otura Meji advises seeking peace of mind to attract good health, long life, and success. This path only requires the effort to remain open to the flow of spiritual power within and around us, while maintaining calmness in the face of challenges.
Otura Meji symbolizes God's ongoing support in our lives. By understanding and living by spiritual principles, we can overcome the fear of evil, knowing we are protected by the divine forces of God, deities, and spirits that watch over us day and night.

It symbolizes the birth of twins in the family of the devotee who consults Ifá, signifying abundance and prosperity.
This Odu teaches that when you show reverence for Olodumare, you are destined to become a leader among people, guiding them with wisdom and integrity.
According to IFA verse:
Otura meji soso ni won da soju opon kan
Bi o ba di meji a di ododo
A difa fun Odidere
Ti n se aya Agbonniregun
Won ni Odidere
Oko re nko o?
O ni nbe nile o

Won tun ni Odidere
Oko re ni nko o?
O ni nbe nile o
Okunrin dudu oke igeti
Omo ado, baba ti n wewu oogun
Baba dana ko ta
Baba dana ko ya
Baba dana ko ogun bere yee yee yee
A difa fun omo Ose
Ti won ni yoo subu laarin ota
Gbogbo ewu e dosiri bose
Eni le o fose bo?

Ina o ni sose ni nkan
Orunmila ma je aburu o kan mi, k’ota ma se bori mi

Translation of the above verse:
One otura was divined on the ifa tray
When it becomes two, it turns out to be real and just
This divined IFA oracle for Odidere
Odidere (the great parrot)
The wife of Agbonniregun
They asked Odidere
Where is your husband?
She responded that he is at home
She greeted them back
They asked her again, Odidere
Where is your husband
She responded that he is at home
The black man at the hill of Igeti
The son of Ado, the father with medicinal cloth
Father set fire without a flame
Father set up fire unnoticed
Father set up fire with quick flame
Father set up fire to build unlimited and infinite charm
Thus divined ifa for the child of Ose
Believing that he will fail in the midst of the enemies
All mountain may fight Ose (a special divinity that resides in a tree called Ose)
What can you do to prevail over Ose
What can you do to fall Ose
The thunderstorm cannot destroy Ose
Fire cannot destroy Ose
Orunmila never allow evil to befall and over power me
Ase

Ifá warns that the person for whom this Odu is revealed must always keep the fear of Olodumare at the forefront of their mind. They should acknowledge that, no matter how powerful they become, Olodumare is the ultimate source of all power and can remove any power that is misused or abused.
Ifá emphasizes that if this person is placed in a position of authority, they must lead with humility and reverence for Olodumare. They should never mistreat others or use their power for revenge or to show dominance over anyone.
On the other hand, Ifá promises that this person will overcome a stronger opponent who has used their power, position, or influence to oppress, intimidate, or harm others.
To ensure success, Ifá advises offering a sacrifice (ebo) of one mature he-goat and money. Additionally, they should feed Esu Odara with a rooster. After completing these rituals, they should continue to place their faith in Olodumare in all thoughts, words, and actions.
