We must become the change we want to see. is more of a paraphrase than what Ghandi said, what he actually said was something much, much deeper. Here's the actual quote:
We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the Devine mydtery supreme. A wondeful thing it is and a source of our Happiness. We need not wait to see what others do. - Mahatma Ghandi
Here's my take on this and it truly is deep. He is actually talking about us, our inner work. The real change comes when we go within and do the work of inner transformation. To really and truly examine ourselves openly, honestly with all our vulnerabilities and to purge out any resemblance of selfishness, depravity or insecurity. We can't in no form create lasting change by teaching precept alone, but by embodying the precepts. So in a sweet and short translation it is so similar to "Practice what you preach".
