  • Truth is the wisdom that the presence of deities direct our lives when they are not physically seen with our naked eyes, since we have the wisdom that the most profound and the strongest vibrations are invisible energies operating in the universal order of things.

Hence truth is your life .
  • Truth is your good character within you to the universe and the response from the universe will be the same truth that will improve your life in the universal order of things, that is truth planted, truth harvested , whatever you plant shall be the same to reap.
  • Truth is whatever you plant become your rewarded fruit in the future, the truth is that all that planted well, reap well at the end.

Translation
He that steps into the river
Would know the depth of the water
He that shouts aloud for help
Would widen his eyes up the sky
Cast ifa divination for Orunmila
On the day he was inquiring of the secrets of OLODUMARE
Would I discover the secret of everything on earth ?He asked
They told him to perform sacrifice
But he should go and place his sacrifice at the feet of the ocean which is the beach of the ocean
Orunmila performed the sacrifice
He carried his sacrifice and made for the beach (of the ocean)
As he was about to place his sacrifice
OLODUMARE had removed his cloth
He was stark naked
But the robust part of OLODUMARE’s buttock is the ocean
As OLODUMARE inhales
The ocean’s current would breeze on shore
FAA
The breathes in and out by OLODUMARE
Is the reason for the ocean’s current and movement
As Orunmila was about to place the sacrifice 
OLODUMARE became suspicious
You, Orunmila
Hiin, Orunmila answered
Did you not see my secret? OLODUMARE asked
I only saw the robust part of your buttocks, answered Orunmila
There is nothing you will not know henceforth, said OLODUMARE
Orunmila then started to dance and rejoice
He was praising his babalawo
his babalawos were praising IFA
he said, it was exactly as his IFA priest had said
he that steps into the river
would knows the depth of the water
he that shouts a cry of help
would widen his eyes up the sky
cast IFA divination for Orunmila
on the day he was inquiring of the secrets of OLOUMRE
it is you and we
it is really you and we
IFA ORUNMILA let me know all secret of life through your wisdom and have the courage to live according to your rules
GOD, never allow your disciple and your devotee be put to shame this year
Elas, the mysterious and the ancient of days, let all the devotees of IFA attract enormous blessing  and victory this year
