We should try to resemble the qualities of the High Priest.
Kabbalah teaches that G-d has very high expectations for very holy souls.
Eligibility requirements to marry the High Priest
Holier Than Thou
We do not impose holiness on the priest; we are to see to it that he does not lose or abandon the holiness which is his by birth.
A Matter of Death and Life
Death causes a form of impurity, a disembodied soul residue which may get in the way of a priest doing his duties, and so must be avoided.
