Bro just like in life in general muslims also have different personalities and since the beginning of Islaam there has been diffrences of opinions etc. Some of our brethren (and sisters) are more in tune spiritually than others (erm...I for one am not that spiritiual type of person thus do not follow this path.) They believe to attain ihsan & tazzkiya e nafs you need to take bayat from a sheikh who will serve as your guide/mentor etc. It's only some hard core 'Salafee' types who hold that (not just bayat to a sheikh of a turuq but even Tawassuf/Sufism as we know it in a orginised sense itself) is bida't. In my humble view it's really up to the individual if you want to follow that path or not.
