Yes, the Srimad Bhagavatam actually teaches this conception. It is in some stories told there. In the 8th canto of the Shrimad Bhagavatam, Bali Maharaja, who by the power of his Spiritual Master, conquered over the whole universe. His Guru had one fault that made him worthy to be abandoned: He was against, and critical of, the real pure devotee incarnation, Vamana Deva. He was very fortunate because he was in the linage of Pralada Maharaja, who taught him the real confidential conclusion of the Bhagavatam, that currently is not yet understood by most modern day Vaishnavas; The reason being, is that the Spiritual Masters nowadays are at best charismatic like King Balis Spiritual Master, therefore they are under the same illusion, as his Guru, and cannot understand the confidential conclusions of this Holy Book.
Without the living transcendentally empowered devotee Pralada would never be able to move beyond his materially empowered Spiritual Master who gained his strength by dry renunciation and austerities: This is like such modern days spiritual masters appear to qualified Gurus but in their misdirected teachings promote the dry renunciation of the world, as the method to realize Krishna.
The true way in this Kali Yuga is to, in some life, be presented with the opportunity to take shelter amongst those intimate eternal associates of Gaura/Krishna. This time has again arrived! One is fortunate to associate with the ecstatic Vaishnavas at "Lord Chaitanya's amazing grace place". There one is easily elevated to the platform of pure goodness, because the Vaishnavas here have received Lord Caitanys special gift; They are empowered by Lord Chaitanya's Pure Bhakti Grace and eternal conclusive Truth.
