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".

Truth exemplar? Don't think so, know so he isn't.
And not only that, several months back on the LFN website he was promoted to
Shaykh Sant Shabda-Preceptor for a while. Like wow!
Sheikh —also transliterated Sheik, Shaik, Shayk, Shaykh, Shaikh, Cheikh, and Shekh— is an honorific title in the Arabic language. It commonly designates the ruler of a tribe, who inherited the title from his father. "Sheikh" is given to a royal male at birth, whereas the related title "Sheikha" is given to a royal female at birth.
"Sheikh" also often serves as a title for prominent Islamic leaders or clerics.

Is it Sant, as in sant mat aka sufism?
As "point of view of the Sants", the term Sant is pivotal. Derived from the Sanskrit sat (सत) and has overlapping usages (true, real, honest, right). Its root meaning is "one who knows(is) the truth" or "one who has experienced (merged into) Ultimate Reality." The term 'sant' has taken on the general meaning of "a good person" but is properly assigned to the poet-sants of medieval India.

A preceptor is a teacher responsible to uphold a certain law or tradition, a precept.
A preceptor was historically in charge of a preceptory, the headquarters of certain orders of monastic knights, such as the Knights Hospitaller and Knights Templar, within a given geographical area.

Still one does need to be vigilant of things going off the rails completely
and innocent people being harmed or worse.

and Shabda?
aka Shabda
Śábda is the Sanskrit word for "speech sound". In Sanskrit grammar, the term
refers to an utterance in the sense of linguistic performance.
Well there has certainly been 'a performance' here on a.r.e. for some time.
And a very 'popular' compiler of articles on the lfn.
Esoterically, Shabd is the “Sound Current vibrating in all creation. It can be heard by the inner ears.” [1] Variously referred to as the Audible Life Stream, Inner Sound, Sound Current or Word in English, the Shabd is the esoteric essence of God which is available to all human beings, according to the Shabd path teachings of Eckankar, the Quan Yin Method, Sant Mat, Surat Shabd Yoga, and M.S.I.A. (Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness).
Adherents believe that a Satguru, or Eck Master, who is a human being, has merged with the Shabd in such a manner that he or she is a living manifestation of it at its highest level (the “Word made flesh”). However, not only can the Satguru attain this, but all human beings are inherently privileged in this way. Indeed, in Sant Mat the raison d’être for the human form is to meditate on the Sound Current, and in so doing merge with it until one’s own divinity is ultimately realized.
