For me, 'revolution' simply means radical change.
The quintessential revolution is that of the spirit, born of an intellectual conviction of the need for change in those mental attitudes and values which shape the course of a nation's development. A revolution which aims merely at changing official policies and institutions with a view to an improvement in material conditions has little chance of genuine success. Without a revolution of the spirit, the forces which produced the iniquities of the old order would continue to be operative, posing a constant threat to the process of reform and regeneration.
The quintessential revolution is that of spirit. Without this, the forces which produce the inequalities of the old order will continue to operate.
A revolution simply means great change, significant change, and that's how I'm defining it - great change for the better, brought about through non-violent means.
