vyassuresh 's review for:
If Truth Be Told: A Monk's Memoir
by Om Swami
This book is about the journey of a guy who isn't satisfied with the material gains or pleasures of worldly life and sets on to find the truth for himself through the path of meditation.
Swami Ji (in his discourses on YouTube) often says that the path of meditation (Dhyana Yoga) is one of the hardest ways, and it requires will power, diligence, and immense patience. This book is in tune with his teachings, and you see how he had practiced what he now preaches.
Swami Ji also says that it contains only about 10% of events from his whole life. Still, it is very enriching to see the glimpses of his life.
You will learn lots of useful lessons about life, patience, persistence, discipline, etc. Being on the spiritual path myself, I could genuinely feel (a part of) what the author was going through and the insights that dawned upon him on the way.
I recommend this to anyone who wants to read an inspiring book on the journey of a seeker.
