Aa va dhoota – I’m His messenger, not yours. (In Kannada, ‘Avana dhoota’ means ‘His messenger’). There are so many explanations for this. You do not need it. I’m here to follow His orders.

You trust me and follow like you follow the rules, like you follow instructions of the General Manager of a company. There is one boss at the top. We have to listen to him. Avadumbara – one who is the world Himself, who is of the form of light – I’m His messenger.
