The bee and the python are two excellent spiritual masters who give us exemplary instructions regarding 
how to be satisfied by collecting only a little and how to stay in one place and not move.
From the bumblebee I have learned to be unattached to accumulating money, for although money is as good as honey, anyone can kill its owner and take it away.
I do not endeavor to get anything, but am satisfied with whatever is achieved in its own way. If I do not get anything, I am patient and unagitated like a python and lie down in this way for many days.
PURPORT
The honey gathered in the comb is taken away by force. Therefore one who accumulates money should realize that he may be harassed by the government or by thieves or even killed by enemies. Especially in this age of Kali-yuga, it is said that instead of protecting the money of the citizens, the government itself will take away the money with the force of law. The learned brahmana had therefore decided that he should not accumulate any money. One should own as much as he immediately needs. There is no need to keep a big balance at hand, along with the fear that it may be plundered by the government or by thieves.
One should learn detachment from the bumblebees, for they collect drops of honey here and there and keep it in their honeycomb, but then someone comes and by force takes all the honey away, leaving the bumblebees with nothing. Therefore one should learn from the bumblebee not to keep more money than one needs. Similarly, one should learn from the python to stay in one place for many, many days without focal and then eat only if something comes in its own way. Thus the learned brahmana gave instructions gained from two creatures, namely the bumblebee and the python.

SB3.29.8 purport
” To act under the direction of a bona fide spiritual master with a motive to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead is pure devotional service. But if one has a motive for personal sense gratification, his devotional service is manifested differently. ”
Yes indeed. If some one has a motive to become guru accepting and collecting disciples simply for sense gratification, his devotional service is manifested differently with certain twist and turn to satisfy ones’ own personal agenda.
Since he disobey the order of his Spiritual Master, he is no longer under the guidance and care of his Guru Maharaja.
Srila Prabhupada used to give as an example many times that when an apprentice works under the direction of a master electrician, then even though he knows practically nothing about electricity, because he exactly follows the directions of the “master”, then his neophyte work is as good as the masters because it is done under his direction. This is the key to pleasing the Lord, and being properly situated under His lotus feet thru the blessings of a bona fide spiritual master.
