"Mountain-brush and ocean-ink, Heaven and earth a box of sutras, Every stroke holds miriad forms, And desires of six realms are also texts and writings, Gleamings [of dharmakaya] echo like a bell in a valley, A conversation sharper than a tip of a blade." — Kukai

Six realms in this instance isn't about hells, hungry ghosts etc. It's the realms of six senses, ie sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and thought, varieties of "sign-letters" imbued with meaning. In short, all experience is a text of sorts. So, do read between the lines...
