Krsna accepts or rejects according to guru’s pleasure

There is Narottama dasa Thakura Prarthana. Asraya laiya bhaje, krsna nahi tare tyage: “One who takes asraya, shelter of a devotee, Krsna does not give him up. Krsna accepts him.” Yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah…. Because if that person who is giving shelter, if he’s pleased, Krsna is immediately… If he recommends a fool, “Oh, Krsna, here is a devotee,” Krsna will accept
immediately. It doesn’t matter whether he’s a fool or rascal. Because he is recommended by representative, he will be accepted. Yasya pra… This is the meaning of yasya prasadad bhagavat-pra… Without his recommendation there is no entry in Krsna’s kingdom. Yasya-prasadad na gatih kuto ‘pi. If he displeases Krsna’s representative, he has no entrance to the Krsna’s kingdom, however learned he may be or whatever he may be. Immediately rejected.

From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.1.21 & Room Conversation – December 12, 1970, Indore
