Om Swami writes in a down-to-earth manner. He does not come across as a pretentious monk who is full of bookish knowledge but lacks practical experience of God. On the contrary, he comes across as a modern man, a person of today's young generation, who had the courage and conviction to seek- and find- God. I personally found this book brilliant and would recommend it to any other sincere seeker after Truth. Om Swami boldly declares that religion has no value unless it makes people more compassionate. Compassion is the essence of religion. To be able to conquer anger and other lower emotions is religion. Without this, he states no amount of prayer, ritual or anything else will help attain the experience of God. His words ring absolutely true. God bless this noble soul for writing this wonderful book. May all of us dare to forge our own path to God even as he did.

If Truth Be Told: A Monk’s Memoir traces not a journey toward success, but a quiet undoing of everything that once defined it. What begins as a familiar ascent into wealth and achievement soon reveals a deeper fracture. Beneath the surface lies a restlessness that success cannot soothe. The search that follows is not serene or poetic, but relentless, marked by failed pursuits and a growing disillusionment with easy answers. There is no romantic veil over renunciation here. The retreat into solitude is stark and exacting, where silence weighs heavily and survival itself becomes a test. Spirituality is stripped of ornament, reduced to something raw and unyielding. And yet, in that starkness, something shifts. Not a revelation bestowed, but a truth uncovered. The search collapses into a simple, disarming realization that what was sought was never elsewhere. It is a deeply compelling read, and a striking testament to the honesty of the journey and the clarity of its author. ## Frequently Bought Together - If Truth Be Told: A Monk's Memoir - The Ancient Science of Mantras: Wisdom of the Sages - Realize your dreams Achieve your goals - A Million Thoughts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/55860994-if-truth-be-told-a-monks-memoir](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/55860994-if-truth-be-told-a-monks-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
