There is honesty in the mind that stops pretending it has found what it sought. To confess that no husband has been given is to admit that nothing gathered in the world has ever made the mind whole. And this admission is not shame but the beginning of sight, for the teacher of love answers it with approval rather than reproach.
What looks like a lack is really an opening. As long as the mind claimed to already possess its completion, it could not receive it. The moment it tells the truth about its emptiness, the truth can begin to fill it.

Esoteric
The soul is meant for a single union, and the pull toward it burns like jealousy. Within a person there is a betrothal of the inner nature to one spiritual center, and everything that would scatter that nature across many attachments works against the marriage.
The chaste virgin is the soul kept pure and undivided, not yet spent on the many, held whole for the one. The single husband is the one spirit, the Christ-center, to which that soul is joined. The whole movement is toward keeping the inner self single and unspoiled so it can be brought, entire and undistracted, into union with the one spirit rather than parceled out among lesser loves.
