He will understand the truth of the old Saying, "Rolling stone gathers no moss".
If we have such attitude of going to so many gurus, but while secretly having the inner desires for worldly pleasures, then we must accept the fact that we are only fit to be in the 2nd standard of our school. But on the other hand, if our desireslessness is true, we are then in the state of aspirant in 3rd (b) standard who visits so many Gurus in search of his Sad-Guru till he finally meets him.

So we cannot claim to have Guru Bhakti, the qualification for the 4th standard. The Guru Bhakti in the 4th standard is like the Chastity of the wife towards her husband. this is why we call the Guru as 'Guru-Natha' or 'Divine Husband'. Through a chaste woman respects and serves so many elders and brother-in-law in the family, the respect and love for her hsuband is of a different nature. She is completely depending upon on him for all and everything. So also, though we may have love and respect towards all sages and saints who were and are, once we have met our Sad-Guru, giving up going to others (particularly for liberation) as well as giving up practising the teachings of all others but of our own Guru, is the proof of Guru Bhakti.

With a firm determination to adhere only to the Guru once He has been found, with the conviction, "I have come to my Guru for the sake of Liberation. Though It has been granted to me, I will not go to any other Guru. Bondage or Liberation, bad or good, Hell or Heaven- whatever He chooses to give, where ever He chooses to place me, that is my pleasure", and with accomplished surrender, one should remain in one-pointed love which is the true sign of Guru Bhakti. This is the sign by which we can find out that we qualified to be in the 4th standard of our school.

When Shri Vivekananda met Pavahari Baba, he understood His real greatness and had an impulse to take him as his Guru. But when Shri Ramakrishna appeared before him with a pitying look about his foolishness, he realized his mistake and made up his mind never to look upon Pavahari Baba as his Guru, once having been taken as a Disciple by Shri Ramakrishna. He then moved with Pavahari Baba as with a revered friend. Though Shri Vivekananda had very great respect for him, Pavahari Baba was not his Guru. this is the right manner, for a disciple in the 4th standard who has Guru-Bhakti, to give room in his heart for sages other than his Guru.

So, those who are going to many Gurus, may be classified as belonging to either the 2nd standard of our School where one is worshipping so many names and forms of God to satisfy one's selfish requirements, desires for worldly objects, name and fame or to the 3rd(b) standard where one is searching for one's Guru, if one is truly desireless for worldly pleasures. The following is to be noted when one is searching for his Guru:

"To say the truth, he who knows the Truth (Mei-Jnani) is different from he who knows of the Truth in scriptures (Vijnani). The only essential thing to do for those who want to cut the knot of the bondage of ignorance, is to quit those who know the scriptures and to join those who abide in the Self, the knowers of Truth" - Guruvachaka Kovai'- verse 1158- Shri Muruganar.

"He who orders  "do and don'ts" to whose who come to him is both Death(Yama) and the creator (Brahma) to them. But the truly Divine Guru is one who proves them that nothing is to be accomplished newly by them."    Guruvachaka Kovai'- verse 271, Shri Muruganar.                       

"The only worthy disciplehood which is the steadfast supreme Devotion that Springs up with the merging of the ego into the Light of Supreme Silence (or Self Awareness), is verily the right Guruship. thus should you know" Guruvachaka Kovai'- verse 269- Shri Muruganar.

The thought current of the disciple, i.e., his aim and inclinations should be perfectly attuned to that of the Guru. then only the Master-Disciple-relationship is real and a fitting one.
