So the idea that one need not do anything is kind of silly. I believe they're speaking to the ideas of martyrdom, and proper use of the will such as detachment from outcome. You're only one person and we're naturally bound to other people's choices, so we can't expect the world to magically change over night. Yet we can appreciate our choices and way of life, understanding that it is making some difference on planetary consciousness, even though results might not necessarily be immediate.

It is the desire for change in the self and others that lacks wisdom. This is the very green-ray phenomenon Ra speaks of.
It can be said that if everything is accepted, there is nothing to change.
When Ra talks about "being" vs "doing", they are not talking about enjoying a state of spiritual immanence, but rather a realization of self being able to inform awareness *for the purpose of transformation*. There would be no point to existence here if presence without regard to one's balancing work was the aim. There is no "everything is accepted" here due to the necessary separation from ourselves with which we are learning. When learning and accepting here, there are many, many transformations of mind. That transformation of mind is the work in consciousness (for everyone), and it would be wise to recognize and to take advantage of the opportunity provided, in grounded form, rather than distancing oneself from these needs.
