The text compares a devotee to a 'chaste and devoted wife'. Can you explain what this metaphor means for my relationship with my Guru?

📖 Chapter 45

This metaphor illustrates the ideal of singular, unwavering devotion a disciple should have for their Guru. As described in Chapter 45, just as a chaste wife (Pativrata) holds boundless, exclusive love for her husband and sees him as her only lifelong support, a disciple should feel the same toward the Guru's feet. Her heart is steady and never considers another in his place. Similarly, a disciple's love for the Guru should be so profound that they remain unattached to the world and find their ultimate spiritual companion in the Guru alone. This love, however, is noted to have no limits, unlike worldly affection, as a true disciple recognizes its immense greatness.
