When the world feels like it’s breaking — who will you be? Darkness is real. But so is the light within you.
In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore what it truly means to stand steady in light in dark times. Not by denying anger, fear, or confusion — but by consciously choosing love in difficult times.
Through the lens of Yoga philosophy, this talk reminds us that contraction and expansion are part of life. Even in periods of upheaval, there is a deeper current moving humanity toward awakening in dark times. That awake...
When the world feels like it’s breaking — who will you be? Darkness is real. But so is the light within you.
In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore what it truly means to stand steady in light in dark times. Not by denying anger, fear, or confusion — but by consciously choosing love in difficult times.
Through the lens of Yoga philosophy, this talk reminds us that contraction and expansion are part of life. Even in periods of upheaval, there is a deeper current moving humanity toward awakening in dark times. That awakening begins in the heart.
You may see greed. You may feel anger. You may judge — yourself or others. That is human. But the greater force is divine love. The greater choice is love over fear.
This is a call to embody compassion in turbulent times, not as weakness, but as strength. To be a light in the darkness is not to pretend everything is fine. It is to bring kindness where there is pain. To respond with clarity instead of hatred. To stand firm without losing your heart.
Even the smallest act of love matters. Especially now.
You are not powerless in dark times. You are the light.

The Baba Flow
Maetreyii Ma’s talks are based on a spiritual process called Baba Flow. The Baba flow is an intuitive flow of spiritual guidance and teachings from the deep inner essence, the one essential Source known by many names. In the Baba Talks, Maetreyii Ma, in a deep state of Bhava, or devotional absorption, opens to this Source and allows the teachings to flow through.
Since 1969, Maetreyii Ma has been a student of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, affectionately known as Baba. In 1970, she began to have profound mystical experiences of the Divine and experienced the inner presence of her Guru. Baba's inner presence brought a deep knowledge of the endless love and compassion of the Divine, perfect beauty and wisdom, and the unconditional love and overflowing grace of the Sadguru.
