Playing the Role of a Child vs a Master (Being an Observant or Responsible)

Being an observer looks counterintuitive to being responsible. When we take responsibility we are required to call for few steps which are the right next steps for the group or an individual.

So how does one decide when do we need to become responsible and when do we need to remain as a detached observer?

I feel, as we know, that during the confluence age we are all studying to become deities and deities in the Golden and Silver Ages become the world emperors. Being the master of the entire world puts a lot of responsibility, but definitely deities were never stressed about it. Because they learnt in the confluence age, all there is to learn and perfect to easily and efficiently conduct their duties in the coming ages. We learn how to run the deity government which is basically an external reflection of self governance. 

Being a detached observer is a state of learning, learning how to perform a duty. Being detached is not running away from the responsibility, it actually enables us to understand the dynamics and interplay of all the energies in and around us. Being detached means to remain untethered with the flow of powers and to witness the interplay. This helps us in becoming stable, stable enough to learn.

So until we know fully what is going on, we keep detachment with us but that doesn't mean we do not take responsibility. We do take responsibility when we start getting a hold of things and start understanding few things. We take responsibility as an experiment to further witness the dynamics of the powers of responsibility and the vices keeping a hold of us. We learn to navigate that sea. We never take full responsibility because until the end of Confluence Age, we never fully grasp all the concepts and related experiences. That's why Baba says, Always remain trustee. There is a lot of power in being the trustee because it enables a healthy environment to make mistakes and to learn. But only an honest heart would not take advantage during such mistakes. But then He also says You have huge responsibility on you. He doesn't want us to get scared, that reaction is happening between vices and the powers of responsibility, but He wants us to learn to handle the pressure which are actually many powers about which we are not aware of.

To truly understand the entire interplay of all the energies one would need to take responsibility to move ahead, one would have to put their heads in the Seva but it is all to make us learn which can only happen while remaining detached. That is why Baba says Keep a Balance between being a child and a master. Both are required to learn. And in the Golden and Silver Ages we would in return become the masters because the study would get over.
