The document discusses how inner peace and social movements are interconnected. It argues that leaders and participants of social movements must cultivate inner peace within themselves in order to create an atmosphere of peace and civility for the movement. The document provides steps for achieving inner peace, including awareness, self-esteem, and finding meaning. It then discusses how several historical social movements practiced non-violent resistance and the importance of inner strength rather than anger for effecting change. Leaders of social movements are encouraged to fight against anger without provoking it in others.

17. PEACEFUL RESISTANCE
Contrary to the stereotype of “peacefulness” as “passivity,” once you
awaken to the reality of the present moment, and you become conscious
of your connection to the rest of humanity, you are naturally more
empathetic towards the plight of your fellow man.
