उत्तर
The message the poet wishes to convey through this narrative poem "Tansen" is he explains our condition of today. In music, in painting, in poetry man's first thought is, "How will it be? What will people say of it?" When inspiration is sacrificed to the material world how can the soul ever dance? In his attachment to the external world, man has lost touch with his own self.
As a man grows, the more he is successful in worldly affairs, the more he loses contact with his inner being. For a truly harmonious existence, one has to connect to his soul and through it to God. It is then that magic will unfold in one's life.
