Most people in this world, even when they show interest in God,it is casual and maybe even a sort of entertainment. For the “teachers” it definitely is business!! Make money. Get famous and some even use it to impress women.
God is not interested in them at all. Based on their past karma they get those things they desire. For a while their disciple will proclaim them as wise and great
For those genuinely interested in God the story is different and their Guru is very different. They will endure much hardship without complaining but never give you their search for God.
Such discipes are very rare. Maybe less than a hundred exist!
