What you do for yourself dies with you. What you do for others lives eternally. This is what prompts the elders to remind us that eniyan nii d'orisa, it is human beings who become orisa. More precisely, it is those human beings whose service has made people remember them with fond admiration who become memorialized generation after generation. The Holy Odu EjiOgbe teaches us this way: 

Orunmila said, it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa knows that it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa said, Oduduwa who you see
He was human 
When he did good on earth
After his death, we always remember him
Orunmila said, it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa knows that it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa said, Ogun who you see
He was human 
When he did good on earth
After his death, we always remember him
Orunmila said, it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa knows that it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa said, Osala Oseremagbo who you see
He was human 
When he did good on earth
After his death, we always remember him
Orunmila said, it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa knows that it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa said, Sango who you see
He was human 
When he did good on earth
After his death, we always remember him
Orunmila said, it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa knows that it is human beings who become orisa
Ifa said, he himself 
Was also human 
When he was wise, and did good on earth
After he had gone to heaven, 
When the people of the world did not see him
They started remembering him
They did not gorget the advice
That he left behind
So, it is human beings who become orisa
- Holy Odu EjiOgbe
