I have a very interesting story to share—a story of a very powerful king named Shadad.
Once upon a time, in the vast kingdom of AD, there lived a very powerful king named Shadad. He was blessed with unparalleled resources: wealth, health, access to anything he liked—he had it all.
All of that was a test for him. He could have used it to benefit humanity, to uplift people. But he used all of those resources to fuel his grandiose narcissistic self.
A time came in his life when he heard about Divine heaven—heaven created by God for those who are good people. Then he challenged God. He got narcissistic injury because he saw himself as God, and he decided to build a heaven on this earth—right here in the world. It was kind of insulting God, like: “Huh. What do you think you are? Your heaven is nothing before the one I am going to build. I don’t need your heaven. I will create my own.”
So he started the preparations. He spent a lot of time building that city. He called it Heaven. There were streams flowing through it. It was decorated with jewels. There were women and men—everything in it. It had everything. As I said, it took him a long time.
God gave him the way, and people around him started questioning God: “What? How is he able to do that? That must mean God does not exist.”
But then, when it came time for him to enter his heaven, God took away his soul. He did not let him step into it—proving to him that he wasn’t that powerful, and that he didn’t have control over everything. He was just a human being.
So the moral of the story is this: they can get whatever they go after, but that doesn’t mean they are living a peaceful life. And you all know the end of their life is miserable.
It’s such a striking similarity between Shadad’s story and a narcissist’s life. They get to have it all, but they do not enjoy anything of it. Toward the end, it’s all gone—wasted.
What Is the Proof?
