स्थिर
sthir · Sanskrit, adjective
that which stands — steady, enduring, unmoved.
Most things are built to be sold. A few are built to remain.
Sthir exists for the second kind — enterprises whose worth is measured in decades, whose builders intend to be forgotten long before their work is.
Every verdict that matters arrives late. Sthir builds for the later ones — judgments rendered in decades, by people not yet born, on work whose makers are no longer present to take the credit.
It is not in a hurry, because nothing that endures ever was.
The ocean receives every river and remains itself — full, and unmoved. So too the one who is steady.
Bhagavad Gītā · II.70
What would you build if no one would ever know you built it?
