Saint Tulsidas of mideaval India has said :
'By reading high-fy religious books or by doing "this thing" and
"that thing" one does not become a real religious scholar.
But the one who understands this 2.5 letter (yes 2 and a half letter) word becomes a scholar beyond comparison'.
Which is this 2.5 letter word ?
And why ?

A friend of my read the question and called me up he said it is "Prem" (which is a 2.5 letter word in Indian languages).
The meaning of this word is
"Love"
I believe he is referring to either "Love for God" or "True Love".

But I still want to know if anyone knows : why a word whose meaning is "Love" is used in this context of religioous scholarship by a renowned authority of Indian religions ?

My friend again called up and told me the following :
Love is the right word.
It explains Krishna and Radha's love.
It explains Meera and Krishna's love.
It explains Narsinha Mehta's love for Krishna
It explains Vishnu's love for an eight year old innocent young boy devotee who was in danger and why Vishnu hiself saved him.
It explains Saint Tulsidas's love for Ram
It explains Buddha's love for the entire mankind.
It explains Swami Vivekananda and later Paramahansa Yogananda's pursuits to Americas embodied with the Divine love.
If you really see clearly then it will explain most of the endeavors of all the Indian religious scholars in their lives !
