Light-Matter Interaction in Two-Dimensional Materials
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
You have the right to perform your duties, but not to claim the results of your actions.
Do not act with attachment to outcomes, nor let yourself drift toward inaction.
