Ifa enlightened us that the root cause of impulsive behaviour is Unmindfulness. When you are not mindful of yourself, you act anyhow and this can get you entangled.As a spiritual being, your Destiny is to attain Divinity. And the process to this is to be conscious of your emotions in this realm so that you can be fulfilled. In Obara Ogunda, ifa pointed that impulsive behaviour can get us entangled, and it used the story of Orunmila’s disciple as a case study.
This disciple slept with mother and daughter at the same time just because he could not control his sexual urge. Immediately he finished, he began to regret his actions because such an act is a taboo within the ifa spiritual system. He was afflicted because of that. He ran to ifa for help, and he was advised to undergo series of cleansing through Esu in order to end his affliction. He complied and he was restored thereafter.
As a spiritual being, it is important to be conscious of your emotions. Do not be carried away by the pleasures of this material world so you don’t get yourself entangled. You might not be lucky to come out of it easily, so be careful and be conscious. Take time to scrutinize your emotions before you express it.
