When a nozir sees a sotah, it is a message from Hashem that he is living with an enormous internal contradiction, between body and soul. He has sinned and Hashem is telling him he has a propensity for adultery. Therefore, he must restrict himself for 30 days which will free himself from this contradiction. During this time of abstention, he lives with a sense of body and soul before sin, with physical and spiritual in total harmony.
