Anikam Opara-oha the wise lady once blessed her youths saying:

“May Jah Rastafari meet you doing righteousness with true sincerity, when he comes, for only good works can take you beyond the iron gates, when it counts.”

Amadi Ike-ama the most inquisitive of the youths directly asked the wise lady saying:

“And what is righteousness, and where is that iron gate that we need cross?”

And thus, Anikama Opara-oha responded:

“Righteousness is doing unto others that which you wish others to do onto you… period;

and the iron-gates, is the bar of unconsciousness which we must cross to realize that reality is divinity.

So children, may your days be full of good doing good and reaping its fruits;

and may the good Mother find you amidst works of good and righteousness, in the days you are tested;

for only good works can stand the heat of the fire, and come out tried and tested like proven gold!

only good works, will take you across the iron gate!”
