Answer

Wow.. Thanks, Usha. Do you mind If I ask you a question? What do you think about "gems of truth"? Why do you think "gems" is right for the sentence? Then it means "excellent truths"? I'm really wondering. Please help me!^ ^

Answer

Firstly Germs of truth is incorrect. It is gems of truth.
Secondly, they may be profound- meaning deep and insightful
However they may not be totally relevant or meaningful to the specific person, probably since the person hasn't experienced it
