“Afterwards, over drinks, one of the barbarians asked me what I dreamt of. I, of course, was taken aback. They say barbarians don't dream. But I told him... "I dream of tangible nothing," I said.
"So you mean nothing as something, then?" the barbarian replied over the rim of his gin-and-tonic.
"I mean unity, dissolving into non-self," I said, just to be confusing.”

“The term پ貹ṭṭԲ can be explained as a compound of sati, "mindfulness" or "awareness", and ܱ貹ṭṭԲ, with the u of the latter term dropped by vowel elision. The Pāli term ܱ貹ṭṭԲ literally means "placing near", and in the present context refers to a particular way of "being present" and "attending" to something with mindfulness. In the discourses [of the Buddha], the corresponding verb ܱ貹ṭṭپ often denotes various nuances of "being present", or else "attending". Understood in this way, "پ貹ṭṭԲ" means that sati "stands by", in the sense of being present; sati is "ready at hand", in the sense of attending to the current situation. پ貹ṭṭԲ can then be translated as "presence of mindfulness" or as "attending with mindfulness."
The commentaries, however, derive پ貹ṭṭԲ from the word "foundation" or "cause" (貹ṭṭԲ). This seems unlikely, since in the discourses contained in the Pāli canon the corresponding verb 貹ṭṭپ never occurs together with sati. Moreover, the noun 貹ṭṭԲ is not found at all in the early discourses, but comes into use only in the historically later Abhidhamma and the commentaries. In contrast, the discourses frequently relate sati to the verb ܱ貹ṭṭپ, indicating that "presence" (ܱ貹ṭṭԲ) is the etymologically correct derivation. In fact, the equivalent Sanskrit term is ṛtܱ貹ٳԲ, which shows that ܱ貹ٳԲ, or its Pāli equivalent ܱ貹ṭṭԲ, is the correct choice for the compound.”
