Why is Jesus thought to be born of a virgin mother?

Jesus was born of a virgin not in the physical sense, but as a symbol of inner purity and unclouded love, where true innocence gives rise to profound consciousness.

— Osho
According to Osho, Jesus is said to be born of a virgin because ‘virginity’ means inner purity, innocence, and a mind free of sexual fantasy—not physical celibacy. When love is spontaneous and uncontaminated by thought or repression, it is virgin. Only such pure, unclouded love could give birth to a consciousness like Jesus; the tale signals spiritual purity, not biology.

It means Mary’s heart and mind were very pure and innocent, not that sex didn’t happen.
