Summary

This quote implies that a truly awakened and engaged soul has the ability to perceive and understand absolute truth. As a result, it is capable of expressing this truth through speech or creative endeavors. In other words, when the soul is fully alive and connected to a higher source of wisdom and understanding, it becomes a conduit for truth, whether through verbal communication or the act of artistic creation. The quote suggests that the soul's active engagement and connection to truth are essential for the manifestation of genuine expression and creativity.
