But there may be a merchant who chooses to attend just one fair, and that one, a small one. However, by remaining focused and diligent on the opportunities he has there, he ends up with much more substantial profits than the merchant who went from fair to fair.
So, too, when a person chooses an approach to serving Hashem, he should focus his energies on understanding and developing that one approach. He needs to work on internalizing the spiritual growth which that approach can afford him. Only then will he truly change and make his spiritual growth permanent.
This is analogous to marriage. A person can choose to run around from one partner to another without settling down into anything permanent. In the end he will find himself empty and with nothing with which to come away. However, deciding to build a permanent relationship, offers opportunities for personal growth that were otherwise unavailable.
