Zaguru it's a pleasure to have you here with us today at the World Bank and

I know there are many colleagues who have followed you closely.

I have to say this is a first for me in interviewing a mystic

and having a conversation with a mystic.

So I'm here to learn and to understand more about your philosophy

and how your work is helping to achieve a better world.

It's great to see so many colleagues here today.

In the World Bank, of course, our mission is to help reduce

or eliminate poverty in the world and to improve the living standards

of the people of the world.

And we live in a planet where there is still much to do.

And I know your work is also working to that goal as well.

I want today to start with where we converge,

where we see the world in the same way.

And as I've read and listened to you talking

and thanks to the internet, I was able to watch you on YouTube.

You tell us that humanity has the necessary capability

and resources to address every problem or almost every problem

in the planet.

But the only missing element is our willingness.

And I think that you work to kindle this willingness

within the millions of people who follow you
