Dying for good moral code is the highest form of death that even you can imagine. There is none higher.

Aren't you submissive towards your loved one? Don't you do anything they ask you to, as long as it is morally good? Such is the relationship with God - love, in its purest form, demands submission.

Try it out with someone you love. Try to never be submissive and to obey your ego all the way in the relationship. Let me know how much that lasts.
