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:

Spirit-Flesh Unmixing: The ‘Golden Years’

by

I suspect that focusing on the physical could/would be disastrous for the Golden Years experience, what with the body being in the process of dying. Look at birth as a merging of the physical/flesh with the spirit/Self/soul – which continues thru childhood onto adulthood. I see the Golden Years as a unmixing/detaching/disengaging of the physical/flesh … Read more

Spirit-Flesh Merging: The Forgotten Journey of Becoming Human

Infantile Amnesia? Children (some anyway) remember and see things that are natural to them – that as adults … Read more

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.
