For treading the Bhakthi Maarga (Path of Devotion), one needs no scholarship, nor wealth, nor riches, nor ascetic rigors.  The Grace of the Lord is as vast as the ocean, it is limitless.  By your sadhana (spiritual practice), your japam (repetition of Lord's Name), your dhyanam (meditation) and systematic cultivation of virtue, this Grace is converted into clouds of truth, and they rain on the humanity as showers of joy, which collectively flow back into the ocean of Lord's Grace.
