TURNING THE KEY

Meher Baba

 
Questioner: What is meant by "turning the key"? And what effect does it have on the lives of those to whom it is applied?

BABA: Perfect Masters as a rule work and bring about results of a spiritual character in a natural way. On rare but significant occasions however, they have to disregard the natural laws and bring about the desired result by the use of Divine powers.

For instance, suppose I want a certain person to come to me and be with me for his spiritual benefit, and this being not possible, because of the parents objecting to it, the person in question develops symptoms of leprosy. Seeing this state of affairs the panicky parents of their own accord bring and hand over to my charge the party in question. This is "turning the key."
