Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1 meets ChatGPT

by

It’s challenging for a Western mind to grasp Eastern philosophy, but I’m uncertain if the reverse is equally true. The Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1 profoundly transformed my life many years ago. The logo image above, referencing Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1, connects to ten related verses Here.

I have been testing Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Bing Chat (Copilot), Gemini, Perplexity, and Manus AIs for some time. I’m running questions, requests, and searches through each to identify which provides the best responses. Today, I ran Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1 through ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude, and I found ChatGPT’s response the most satisfying.

Here is ChatGPT’s response:

Christianity

by

This is from 12/12/2007. Haven’t gone thru it yet, but have noticed that some links no longer work, and may do something similar to the Abrahamic Religions page editing.

Still, this is very long, and some of the links are so broken that they now direct to totally irrelevant sites that are not remotely connected to original link. Am just not going to spend a lot of time fixing such links…possibly.

(NOTE: see Abrahamic Religions post for more info…)

 

 

Christianity is one of the three religions that are categorized under the term Abrahamic Religion, with Judaism and Islam being the other two. Christianity is the largest religion (ranked by adherents worldwide), Islam is the second largest, and Judaism is the twelfth largest. All three of these religions claim Abraham as a part of their sacred history. All three of these religions claim that their religious scriptures were “given to them by God.” All three of these religions, with a few exceptions, fall under religions that teach or practice Exclusivism (“Exclusive Principle”), e.g. that only their religion leads to “God and salvation.” With their common connection to Abraham, one might wonder why these Abrahamic Religions can’t get along with each other.

Abrahamic Religions

This WP Page was started on ‘Aug 13, 2008 at 8:59 PM’ at my old ‘THE SWAMP HERMIT’S REPORT’ blog – which was moved from Blogger to WordPress in May of 2004. The blog is still Public, but is only updated occasionally. Here is the link to Original page: Abrahamic Religions

Most of the links are working, but some are broken or gone, and I will not try to fix most of them—which would require a lot of work, even if there were new links available. The reader can search for newer info on the subject of those links. For Example: the video “Maps of War – History of Religion” link doesn’t work anymore because ‘Vodpod videos no longer available’, but there are other similar videos available—just not as good as the original one, IMHO.

I wrote the original using HTML (94 pages before this editing), over a span of time that may have actually started before 8/13/2008, and it got a little messy with new edits being added—and ‘Such’. Tried just a copy & paste of that page to the post here—into the Visual of my Classic Editor, but that didn’t come out right. Then used the original HTML Word.docx – which worked out OK. The original Abrahamic Religions page may be easier to follow. 🤔

I will do some tweaking before publishing here—just not sure how much, so for now, it will be a ‘Work in Progress’. I made notes during some of the tweaking and reediting – they were made in Green. Most of the link issues were from Wikipedia, i.e., the articles had changed so much from my original quotes that I just used Italics to show that I quoted it at one time.
