Re: between spiritual life and householder...
Are you considering ordination, Kiman? If so, and if circumstances are favourable and you feel inspired, then go for it!
One can still lead a spiritual life as a householder however, but there are, of course, more distractions.
Here in the UK, there's a Tibetan Buddhist monastery where its possible for monks and nuns to take ordination for one year to begin with, which I think is very sensible.
I wish you much success with you practice, Kiman, whatever you decide to do.

I want to become a householder, then become a monk when I'm old. but my Guru wants me become a monk at young age.

Your Guru can only tell you what he thinks is best. The final choice is up to you, Kiman.
If you have doubts, meditate.
Perhaps things will become a little clearer eventually, I hope so.
If you still prefer not to take ordination, tell your Guru respectfully that this is your decision for the moment.
Be well and happy.

Meditation, yes. No forceful: now I need to know. Meanwhile practice need not to wait.
Right now.
No worry. _/\_ Woopee!

Well the final choice is down to you, just remember though if youve got a precious human life dont waste it, The old man who shaves of his beard in the morning will find it is always back by the evening thats samsara....it depends how much you like your prision though, perhapes you need to take things a bit slower.
peace
