SPECIAL THANKS I am eternally grateful to Anita Bergen who untiringly shared the burdens of accuracy and coordination in the preparation of this work and a million thanks to Robert “Butch” James, a very special friend, who has made it possible for this revised edition to be published. 8
Introduction to the New Edition of <strong>When</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Can</strong> <strong>Walk</strong> on Water, Take the Boat I think everyone enjoys the thrill of discovery, the inner joy of unearthing some previously undetected gem of thought, idea, or philosophical concept that one is certain will soon become immensely popular and widely heralded. I had that thrill and joy of discovery in 1985 when my dear friend John Harricharan sent me his “just finished” manuscript for my opinion. The manuscript bore the superficially humorous, but spiritually challenging title, <strong>When</strong> <strong>You</strong> <strong>Can</strong> <strong>Walk</strong> on Water, Take the Boat. I knew from my first read-through that the world would soon be hearing a great deal about this beautiful little book. I perceived that this marvelous, modern parable would seize the imagination and the hearts of hundreds of thousands of readers. Today, more than a decade later, with its worldwide acclaim, its many awards and prizes, my initial assessment has been proven accurate over and over again. In my Introduction to the first edition, published in 1986, I praised the manner in which John blended universal truths with effective storytelling techniques. The first-person narrative depicts a series of crises and triumphs within the world of commerce, which coincided with a pilgrimage of soul in the higher realms. Throughout the text, John Harricharan the author and “John,” the narrator, keep encouraging us to continue to pay our physical dues and to continue to learn and to grow. Through a powerful progression of dramatic lessons, “John” comes to understand that all the pain, chaos, and confusion is actually trying to teach us that we chose to put on the fleshly clothes of Earth to fulfill a mission of spiritual growth.
