The greybeards don't want you to adhere to their guidelines in the way of the voice, they say the dragonborn is the exception to the rule, and Jurgen Windcaller, believed the catastrophies that plagued him were caused by mortals using a divine power for their own gain. The greybeards see the voice as a divine power and should not be used for one's own gain, but in exception for the dragonborn, who was given those powers so they could use them, as dragonborns are part divine, having the blood of akatosh, and are used by the divines as champions or pawns depending on how you look at it, as they are used to set things back to normal, and to maintain divine influence. The greybeards exist to help the dragonborn, but the blades want to manipulate them, as evidenced by every single thing delphine does, such as taking the horn, using you as pawn in the embassy, forcing you to kill parthunnax.
