Sentient is what is good for you therefore creating progress.
It can be food, people that are good and therefore help you in your progress, way of practicing something that also help you in your progress.
A lot of English language come from Latin, a lot of Latin come from Greek, a lot of Greek come from other languages like Persian and Sanskrit
so if you are really serious about the meaning of words you should go back and back until you find the origin of the words but i doubt that you will do
that.

Ah,ah,ah.
Just as i just said in my post to Ton.
Religious people changes so much the meaning that was given by the spiritual beings that the original meaning has been totally lost and now they are chasing dreams and dogmas.
Highly spiritual beings like Christ, Buddha, Shiva and khrisna just to named few never intended to create religions but those who follow slowly slowly turned the original meaning into something else.
You follow the same demented path into agree that the original meaning once changed make sense.
You should really organize a party with religious people and hug each other after all you got so many thing in common.

I am afraid however that you too Ton will follow the bad example of so many people that try to get more knowledge just by reading theories
from other theoretic dreamer.
Quote:So that's your theory as to how it works. Funny how someone who is so against theory has spent so much of his time presenting theories about "how the system work" to us. Do as I say, not as I do, eh?
You are talking to the wrong person yogini.
Theory in my life occupy less that 1% while practice occupy over 99%.
My thoughts are based on practical work not on theories like someone here
that believe outright theories from books and dictionaries.
