It may be absurd to submit our will to someone. Especially if it is not for any kind of payment or superior cause.
We may submit our personal will for love and we may submit our personal will to keep our job and get paid.
What about submitting our pride?
When speaking of pride, it is difficult to submit to anyone. There seems to be an exception. Pride may allow us to submit to someone, only if that makes us, in some kind of way superior.
Normally, it is difficult to submit to another person even when there is reward and or a superior cause. Imagine now, when pride is involved it is almost impossible.
To work effectively on pride, at some point we have to work up the power within us to submit it.
A way that gives us this pwoer is to find a true superior cause. This superior cause must have the following two properties. It must not be personal, meaning it must be above the realm of what is personal and it must have power (noble and divine is best).
This cause could be love, the Divine Being or either Truth Itself and or Justice Itself. Even the cause to dissolve pride is valid...
When it comes to the practical field of really doing it, only Truth and Justice work. When it comes to love and the Divine Being, we may say 'no!' and it is all over, pride wins. One can not so easily say 'no!' to truth or justice, because those powers torment us until we ackowledge them...
When we submit to Truth and Justice we are not submitting to anyone, it looks as though we are but we are not. We are really allowing truth and justice to work within us and to help our consciousness.
To submit to truth and jsutice is to realise and recognise and to both agree and disagree. To agree we see the truth and fairness being presented and align with it consciously with dignity (without 'humiliation'). To disagree is to see the false and the unjust and stand up for both without anger or indignation.
Truth and justice are both inpersonal.
