Summary

This quote implies that God is inherently connected to truth, and thus any disregard or disrespect for truth is also a disregard or disrespect for God. It suggests that truthfulness is not only a moral principle, but also a spiritual one, and that rejecting truth is akin to rejecting a divine aspect of existence. In essence, it asserts that the value and significance of truth lies not just in its practicality, but also in its spiritual implications tied to a higher power.

Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.
