Mr Rawat is still promoting his Peace Education Program (note caps, allowing for the perky acronym PEP, which helps create the illusion that PEP is a thing, like Knowledge was).

His basic premise is that if individuals find peace within themselves, the world will be at peace. I'm currently reading 'Prisoners of Geography' by Tim Marshall, whose basic premise is that the constraints of geography are far too often ignored in the analysis of political struggles. He's implying I think that war is inevitable between rival populations, and fairly predictable looking at history and geography.

I haven't finished the book, but I'm far more inclined to this view. The idea that individuals can have peace despite whatever is going on around them, and despite physical constraints and inbred cultural imperatives seems naive and absurd. As if individuals could be unaffected by geography, history and some basic limited needs that we seem destined to fight over. It's a bleak view I guess, hence the attraction of Rawat's recommended personal panacea.
