It is self-evident. ;)
When we are lay fellows of the Theosophical Society we are free to 
follow practices of any spiritual school and select any teacher as we 
like, but when we have committed to the particular guru, we should 
obey him and abandon all other practices. These practices may be very 
good but the guru has his definite plan for our personal development, 
and introduction of these practices into his plan can bring some 
disorder and prevent our vehicles of being perfectly tuned.
The similar rule can be found in  some Buddhist and other schools.
