Answer» 1. Akbar has the unique experience of listening to the charming singing (music) presented by Guru Hari Das. 2. Akbar’s opinion about Tansen’s music was that it was like chaff (useless) beside the charming music of his master. 3. Tansen told Akbar that the difference between the music of his great teacher and his own, was due to the fact that he (Tansen) sang to the emperor’s bidding but his master sang when prompting came from his inner most. 4. Akbar and Tansen forgot themselves in the melody and charm of music. 5. The music of Hari Das appealed to Akbar more. 6. Hari Das’ music was soul-stirring because the prompting came from his innermost self when he sang. 7. Swami Hari Das sang when the prompting came from his innermost self. 8. Tansen’s music was not divine because he sang to the emperor’s bidding, not to prompting of his inner most self.” |
