Most famous case of the "Guru who Stayed Home" vs the propagator who went out into the world, was of course: Jesus and St. Paul (with some differences wrt the previous examples; formost being that St. Paul never physicall met Jesus).

No will needed...just look at the results. ... Grotto of the Old Mass: http://www.kohngallery.com/ryden/pages/ryden.artwork4.html
