If a disciple rejects the spiritual master, the spiritual master is not obliged to take such a disciple back to Godhead, although sometimes out of his mercy, out of kindness, he may do this. So it is not that simply if one takes initiation, that actually he gets a ticket back to Godhead. As Prabhupada makes clear in “Nectar of Devotion”, if a disciple rejects the instructions of the spiritual master, he once again becomes fallen.
