Ori is Greater than Orisa

The position of maximum elevation and spiritual perfection associated with your personal destiny is called Ori Apere. It is the pinnacle of your existence and represents the total optimization of your character, abilities and purpose. As such, Ori Apere might be considered the final stage of spiritual maturity. Ifá teaches us this way:

He who prints the chalk on the back of crocodile
He was the Awo who cast Ifa for the 401 Irunmole
When going to Apere, a state of perfection
He who prints the chalk on the back of crocodile
The Awo of Ori who cast Ifa for Ori
When Ori was going to Apere
They were all advised to offer sacrifice
Only Ori responded by offering the sacrifice
The sacrifice of Ori had been abundantly rewarded
Ori is higher then all Òrìsà
It is only Ori which reaches Apere, the perfect state
No other Òrìsà can give support
Outside of one's Ori
Ori is higher then all Orisa deities
- Holy Odù IreteOfun

When you allow the ego to dissipate and let go of the fears that bind you to small ideas and material gain, abundant reward awaits you, not in the distant future, but here and now. Make an agreement with your internal spirit, that if it will show you the way, you will follow it without hesitation, qualifications and conditions. Commit to living the medicine.

I did not understand the meaning of your ORI. I am from the Islands and the words that I have heard were The Orisha and The Powers. I thank you for the explaimations , this is new to me, but I will keep your teaching in mind and thought.
