We can reconcile the two by developing the capacity to consider life on Earth from both an absolute perspective and a relative perspective simultaneously.
From an absolute perspective all is One, the physical world is a temporary illusion arising from reality, everything is an expression of Perfection and there is nothing to fix.
From a relative perspective there is diversity, the physical world is real, Humanity lives in ignorance and suffering, and Humanity is steadily destroying this planet. There is plenty to fix.
Certain traditions teach that there is a hierarchy of highly-evolved Beings and Angelic kingdoms guiding the evolution of life on Earth without interfering with the free will of human beings. This is in accordance with a greater Plan, but it is a work in progress. The current problems of Humanity and this planet reflect our current level of development. In future cycles Humanity will have developed the capacity to live in harmony with itself and nature.
