Gurus will?
How do you know if you walk in gurus will or our own will ? When making a descision, something I choose might be gurus will or vice versa.
What happens if I mistakenly choose my own will instead of gurus will?

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
Whatever is written in Bani is Guru Ji's will, just keep reading banis and understand them. Also when you are not sure what to do just think what would a son or daughter of Guru Gobind Singh Ji Mahraj do.
You can read the rehat mayrad (Sikh code of conduct) to get an idea and the 52 Hukams by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Just think of basic Sikh principles:
- Kirat Karo - Work hard and honestly
- Wand Ke Chhako - Share what you have with the needy
- Naam Jappo - Always remember God throughout the day
Following our own will leads us to become Manmukhs, and we induce suffering on ourselves as we get caught up in the illusion. But if its a mistake, the Guru will tell us off but he will always hug us and embrace us.

Sat Sri Akaal
from my understanding, i can be wrong, everyone walks in the will of guru, whether they really know it or not. everyone has a relationship open to god whether they want to use it or not. someone might be an atheist and might feel like he is doing something but even that person is walking in the will of guru, (karni apo apni ke nede ke door, we are closer to god based on the actions we take), if you are taking good actions, you are getting closer. if you do selfless service, you are closer to guru. But at all times we are under his hukam (which means his order) some just have good karam, that they find guru sooner, some never find it and live their whole life in ignorance.
there is a verse, (it says, by his will we chant his name)
not sure about others (I can only share what I know), but When I feel like I am closer to guru, I feel utmost love for guru, and not attached to anything bad, or duality. It is when you find peace within yourself, and when you stop trying to look externally. When you find peace within yourself, you radiate, and handle every situation like a boss.
I really hope that made sense, I am myself a learner
