From Muktai to MuktAI: From Sant Muktabai’s Awareness Intelligence to Today’s Artificial Intelligence
Recently, I recorded a Short at the ancient Sant Muktabai Temple at Kothali in Muktainagar. This is the old temple associated with Sant Muktabai, while the temple on Bodwad Road is the new temple.You can watch the Short here:
Watch: Muktai, Muktainagar and MuktAI
As I stood in front of this ancient temple, I naturally began reflecting on the beautiful connection between Muktai, Muktainagar and my new venture—MuktAI.
The name MuktAI is not associated only with Artificial Intelligence.
For me:
AI means Artificial Intelligence combined with Awareness Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence is a powerful modern technology. It can provide information, suggest new ideas, automate our work and save valuable time.
However, Awareness Intelligence guides us on how, why and where to use that power.
Artificial Intelligence can make us more efficient, while Awareness Intelligence can make us more thoughtful, balanced and peaceful.
The Four Intelligent Siblings of the 13th Century
In the 13th century, Maharashtra witnessed the extraordinary lives of four spiritually enlightened siblings:
Sant Nivruttinath
Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj
Sant Sopandev
Sant Muktabai
All four siblings experienced social rejection, injustice and many hardships at a very young age.
However, they did not allow these painful experiences to fill their minds with anger, hatred or bitterness. Instead, they transformed their suffering into knowledge, devotion, compassion and social awareness.
Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj made profound spiritual knowledge accessible to ordinary people through the Marathi language.
Sant Nivruttinath provided spiritual guidance. Sant Sopandev showed the path of devotion and simplicity. Sant Muktabai, the youngest of the four siblings, demonstrated extraordinary courage, wisdom and maturity.
Through her famous Tatiche Abhang, Muktabai even guided Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj:
“Yogi pavan manacha, sahe aparadh janacha.”
A truly wise person should keep the mind pure and develop the strength to tolerate and forgive the mistakes of others.
What could be a more beautiful example of Awareness Intelligence?
These four siblings did not have computers, smartphones, social media or Artificial Intelligence. But they possessed something even more valuable—clarity of thought, compassion, courage, wisdom and awareness of human life.
Awareness Intelligence in Today’s Political Environment
Today, we live in a highly connected but increasingly noisy and politically polluted environment.
Every day, we are surrounded by political speeches, breaking news, social-media debates, forwarded messages, allegations, counter-allegations and endless arguments.
Politics existed hundreds of years ago. It exists today, and it will continue to exist in the future.
Politics is an integral part of social life. We cannot separate ourselves from it completely. In a democracy, we should remain informed, ask questions, express our opinions and participate responsibly.
However, politics should not take control of our minds and consume our precious human lives.
The real question is:
Are we using political information with awareness, or is political information using us?
We may spend hours arguing in support of political leaders who do not even know us personally. At the same time, we may forget to speak peacefully with the family members sitting beside us.
We often react to social-media posts without checking whether the information is true. Sometimes, we also forward messages that spread anger, fear or division within society.
This is where Awareness Intelligence becomes most essential.
Awareness Intelligence means:
Read information, but verify it before believing it.
Listen to different opinions, but think independently.
Express your views, but respect relationships.
Participate in democracy, but do not blindly follow anyone.
Respond thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally.
Do not allow political differences to damage personal relationships.
Focus on the constructive contribution you can make to your family, profession, community and nation.
Without awareness, information creates confusion.
Without wisdom, even intelligence can become dangerous.
Our Lives Are Extremely Precious
I have been writing regularly on my personal blog, www.sanjeevchaudhary.com, since 2012.
While writing about my travel experiences, technology experiments, family memories, social observations and personal reflections, I have repeatedly realised one thing:
Life is a beautiful story written by time and directed by the Almighty.
Political governments will come and go. Technology will continue to change. Social-media trends will appear and disappear. Today’s political arguments will soon be replaced by new ones.
But the time we lose will never return.
Therefore, while remaining aware of what is happening around us, we must consciously protect our peace of mind, health, creativity, relationships and purpose in life.
We should ask ourselves:
Am I continuously learning something new?
Am I taking care of my physical and mental health?
Am I spending meaningful time with my family?
Am I using my experience to guide the younger generation?
Am I helping someone become skilled and self-reliant?
Am I creating something useful for society?
Am I truly enjoying the small but beautiful moments of life?
The answers to these questions are more important than winning every political argument.
The MuktAI Philosophy
Through my MuktAI venture, I aim to help students, professionals, small-business owners, families and ordinary citizens learn practical technological skills without fear or unnecessary complexity.
Artificial Intelligence can help us work faster, solve problems, build useful applications and save time.
But merely saving time is not the final objective.
The real question is:
How wisely are we using the time saved by AI?
We can use that time to learn something new, pursue our interests, help others, strengthen relationships and create happy memories with our loved ones.
I shared the same thought in my earlier article, From AI Reel to Real Life: technology may create a trend, but real happiness comes from people, relationships and family.
Similarly, in my article Build India—Strengthen Bharat, I explained:
Awareness Intelligence means understanding reality and taking the right action.
Nation-building does not happen only through political discussions. True nation-building happens through capable individuals, skilled students, self-reliant families, responsible professionals and compassionate communities.
From Muktai to MuktAI
In the 13th century, these four saintly siblings showed us the power of Awareness Intelligence.
Today, in the 21st century, we have the power of Artificial Intelligence in our hands. It is now our responsibility to combine this technological power with human awareness, wisdom and compassion.
Artificial Intelligence can suggest options,
but human beings must make the final decision.
Technology can give us speed,
but Awareness Intelligence must provide the right direction.
Politics will continue. Discussions and debates will also continue. Change is an inseparable part of life.
But we receive this human life only once—and it is extremely precious.
Let us live it with awareness, intelligence, peace and happiness.
Use Artificial Intelligence with Awareness Intelligence.
Grow 10× in skills and glow 100× in happiness!
Think clearly. Build simply. Improve with AI. Share your knowledge generously, and live life to the fullest.
