Bahaullah’s megalomania and narcissistic self-pity

Here’s a single sentence that captures Baha’u’llah’s megalomania and narcissistic self-pity to an extent that perhaps no other statement of his does:

Verily, no God is there but Me, the Wronged One, the Exile.

Tablets of Baha’u’llah …

The term “Wronged One” is a title that he appears to have adopted early in his career, and taken a great liking to later in life.

 

Here’s a tally of instances of “this Wronged One” or “the Wronged One” in selected volumes of Baha’u’llah’s writings:

  • Epistle to the Son of the Wolf: 102
  • Tablets … after the Kitáb-i-Aqdas: 55
  • The Summons of the Lord of Hosts: 5
  • Proclamation of Baha’u’llah: 4
  • The Book of Certitude: 2
  • The Most Holy Book: 0

Baha’u’llah’s son`Abdu’l-Bahá also referred to himself as the Wronged One, it turns out. In his Will and Testament, he refers to himself as “this Wronged One” ten times.
