as if told

Hi there,

1) Shall I use as if told or as told in the sentence below.
2) Does 'saying' collocate with 'jingle' or is there any other alternative?

The spiritual leader’s wise saying defines the essence of religion, and jingles as if told today.

I'd rephrase the underlined part as, "and resonates as freshly as if uttered today".
