Human Revolution  - an inner process of self-reformation. 

“There is no other solution to the problem of racial discrimination than realizing the human revolution in each individual. In other words, an inner reformation in the depths of people’s lives to transform the egoism that justifies the subjugation of others and replace it with a humanism that strives for coexistence among all peoples.” 

“There are all sorts of revolutions: political revolutions, economic revolutions, industrial revolutions, scientific revolutions, artistic revolutions . . . but no matter what one changes, the world will never get any better as long as people themselves . . . remain selfish and lacking in compassion. In that respect, human revolution is the most fundamental of all revolutions, and at the same time, the most necessary revolution for humankind.” 
- Daisaku Ikeda 

"An inner change for the better in a single person is the essential first turn of the wheel in the process of making the human race stronger and wiser. This “human revolution” is, I believe, the most fundamental and most vital of all revolutions. This revolution— an inner process of self-reformation—is completely bloodless and peaceful. In it everyone wins and there are no victims.“ 

“A great human revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation, and, further, will enable a change in the destiny of all humankind.” 
- Daisaku Ikeda 

When human revolution spreads to the family, the country, and the world, it becomes a noble and bloodless revolution for peace. 

“He suddenly understood the message of so many spiritual teachers that the only revolution that can work is the inner transformation of every human being.” 
- Stanislav Grof

Human Revolution

This fight will shed no blood 

Pull the lotus from the mud 

I come to you in peace 

Let the fussin & fightin’ cease 

Human revolution 

It’s a solution 

Our evolution 

It’s a Human revolution 

I’ve got to dig inside 

To a place I cannot hide 

I’ve got to find my way 

So now I chant and pray 

And now I understand 

That I and I has to have a plan 

But first I need to see 

That I got to work on me 

Human revolution 

It’s a solution 

Our evolution 

It’s a Human revolution 

Some days I don’t wanna know 

And times I don’t think I can 

But seems that everywhere I go 

Here I am 

Looking for the middle way 

It’s a struggle every day 

A journey of a 1000 miles 

Starts with one step & a smile 

I need the longer view 

To see what I have to do 

A simple change in me 

Will change our destiny 

Human revolution 

It’s a solution 

Our evolution 

It’s a Human revolution
