Summary
This quote suggests that the existence of consciousness and intelligence is what gives the universe its significance. It implies that without conscious beings capable of perceiving and understanding the world, the universe would be devoid of purpose and significance.

In this sense, our capacity for consciousness and intelligence elevates the universal experience beyond a mere existence, adding depth and meaning to our existence.
