Why “anitya” is a great word
The doctrine of the impermanence and transience of all conditioned existence, a universal truth of fundamental flux. Its name is a Sanskrit compound: the negative prefix a- ('not') and nitya- ('lasting, permanent'), forming anitya. Unlike nitya, which denotes the eternal and unchanging, or śāśvata, which emphasizes everlasting perpetuity, anitya is the ceaseless current upon which all else floats. It is the petal detaching from the bloom, the sandcastle smoothed by the incoming tide, and the cooling of embers in a dawn hearth—a quiet, relentless insistence that to exist is to already be in the gentle, irrevocable process of becoming otherwise.
