If you love, love openly

Once 20 monks and a nun named Eshum were practicing meditation with a Zen master.
Eshum was extremely pretty, despite having a shaved head and simple clothes. Several monks fell secretly in love with her.
So one day a monk wrote Eshum a love letter insisting that they should see each other alone. Eshum did not answer him.
The next day the temple Master gave a talk to the whole group and once the talk was over Eshum got up addressing the monk who had written to her. - "If you really love me so much, come and hug me now."

I leave the interpretation of the story to the reader. Tell me what you think in the comments.
