Sant
In Hinduism and other Indian religions, sant is a human being revered for his or her knowledge of "self, truth, reality" and as a "truth-exemplar".〔
== Etymology ==
''Sant'' is sometimes translated to "saint", but this is a false cognate - there is no etymological commonality. ''Sant'' is derived from the Sanskrit root ''sat'', which among other things means "truth, reality, essence"; while saint is derived from Latin ''sanctus'', which means "sacred".〔William Pinch (1996), Peasants and Monks in British India, University of California Press, ISBN 978-0520200616, page 181 footnote 3〕
Schomer and McLeod explain ''Sant'' as preceptor of ''Sat'' or "truth, reality", in the sense of "'one who knows the truth' or 'one who has experienced Ultimate Reality', that is a person who has achieved a state of spiritual enlightenment or mystical self-realisation". William Pinch suggests the best translation of ''sant'' is "truth-exemplar".〔
