According to Kabir, a man of letters is a scholar who has only read about love. The Hindi word for love is 'prem', and is made up of two and a half letters. Kabir says to read these two and a half letters in a book is meaningless. Only when a person falls in love with someone do the two and half letters of 'Prem' become complete. One letter is for the lover, the second is for the beloved and the half is for something unknown that exists between the two.
No matter how hard you try, love never becomes complete. You are never content... It is also an indication that it is everlasting. Remember, whatsoever attains to completion, dies. To remain incomplete is love's nature. So a lover is never satisfied and therefore his joy is endless.
