World peace depends on inner peace of individual. For which spirituality(not religious spirituality) seems to be option.

@sree251 Spirituality is about identifying your true self, what you are and why you are. And this is your own (independent) journey to the truth, not as a directed journey in any religion practice.
Someone can help/guide you, but the awakening/knowledge has to come from within you. It starts from within and ends in awakening/enlightenment. It's totally an internal process, and doesn't have an external process as it maybe in any religion.

@sree251 Thanks for that honour. I am a learner myself. I can just share experiences/learnings from my journey, that may or may not help you.
What I have understood is that, there are different ways/path to reach the same destination. Different people find different ways more helpful/suitable to them. Some fine one or other or combination of more than one more appropriate to them.
There are majorly 4 ways I am trying to follow.
First one is mental one, full of logic & reasoning. The approach is to [b]understand[/b] who you are. It is called the path of knowledge. The problem here is ignorance and solution is [b]knowledge[/b]. It sounds a good path but actually requires different level of mental vision/inference, and few people may not find it helpful to them.
Second one is also mental, but it doesn't have logical approach. This approach considers that everyone knows their own reality, the only problem is they are not able to realise who they are just because they are always distracted to something. The problem here is distraction and solution is [b]meditation[/b].
Third one is most practical. For me personally, it is the difficult one and needs to be followed after the exploration of first and/or fourth one. It is the path of action, the [b]righteous & selfless action[/b]. We do all actions for ourselves and our loved ones, this makes a false identity of what is me/I. Only after you are able to detach yourself from this false identity of yourself, you will be able to truly identify true yourself. For you need to do only the righteous & selfless actions.
Fourth one is different from all above as it takes help of the believe system as it is in religious faiths. Actually it is the path of [b]devotion & love[/b] towards god & humanity. The problem here is desires/lust and selfishness, and the solution is devotion to God, leaving all desires and dedicating your life to the will of God.
Edit: Fixed some typos.
