The Tarka Sangraha of Annambhatta with his expository gloss on it, called Dipika, is the most popular introductory work on the Nyaya- Vaiseshika system of Indian philosophy. Sanskrit Text, word by word meanings, and commentary.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
