The Jews' commitment to Hashem was boundless. It defied logic. There can be no logic in being prepared to give your life for a cause. That's why there is no reason given in the Torah explaining why one should give up their life to sanctify Hashem name, because there is no reason.
The commitment was boundless.
So, when the sages instituted a celebration for Purim, they understood that the joy commandment in the Torah on the Holidays would not capture the essence of the day, so they said "a man must rejoice on Purim until he does not know the difference between cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordechai". "Until one does not know", until we break the boundary of our Knowledge, until we reach boundless Joy.
Only boundless joy can celebrate a boundless connection.
(Torah Or – Chayav Inish)
