A thought to be pondered upon...

A seeker or sadhak is not the one who begs but the one who makes him/her capable to achieve whatever he/she wants to achieve through rigorous sadhana.

Guru is not the one who teaches his/her disciple to cry and beg to some unseen mothers and fathers but the one who makes them strong enough to achieve whatever they want in any conditions.

Ishta is not the one who teaches you false karma theory in one's dire times of need but helps like how the water droplet on the lotus leaf flows down.

Sadhana is not the one which leads you to extreme hurdles and makes life difficult but one which makes life easy in due time and keeps one on the track of material success and enlightenment.

Mantra is not the one which needs to be chanted in crores for siddhi but the one which connects to you immediately after the diksha and guides you on the future path.

Ishta guru and mantra are same. If you cannot see that then either you are fraud or guru is fraud or both are deceiving each other.

If any of the above is antonymous or opposite in your life then you should take time and introspect. It's better to stop early than reaching to a complete dead end.
