How does sound become a cause of material entanglement?

Just turn on your radio. :) or turn on your television or go to a restaurent and hear what people are talking about. When people are gossiping it fills our mind with that vibration and it entangles us. When people are thinking of material subject matters, through that association it awakens our propensity for material subject matters. When I say turn on your radios, or look at the hoardings on the street of Bombay, I really dont want you to do that (Laugh). If you do what happens? These hoardings have lusty men and lusty women embracing. What happens to someone who sees that ? The vibration within the mind responds to seeing that, and it awakens our propensities for those things. If you are with people who are talking about the glories of smoking cigarettes, then it awakens in you the inclination- It must be so good they are talking all abput it, it sounds so nice, and we become bound entangled. You see time is so precious, as we are listening listening , hearing ,hearing, mundane material sound vibrations, glorifying things that cause bondage, it is filling our head with those impressions.But if we are talking about Krishna, thinking about Krishna and seeing Krishna and chanting the Holy Names of Krishna we are filling our minds with those vibrations.
