Sometimes we meet people and we tell them something about Kṛṣṇa, give them a book, and it’s not immediately evident, but later, we’ll meet them. Or maybe we won’t meet them, we’ll meet somebody else who had an incidental contact with the devotee, and then they’ll tell how everything started from that one statement. “I heard that thing. He said this, I read this one thing, and then it started.”

And we’re in a liminal state. Any minute we can cross back over into the spiritual environment by a little encouragement from the sound vibration, or by the same principle, we can always slip into nescience. But once the devotees have been awakened and have experienced the taste of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, even if they temporarily slip into darkness, it’s not the same, Nārada Muni says, “as it is for somebody who’s never experienced it, they always remember it.” Even though they become captured by Māyā, they still remember. As Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura said, they’re haunted by the ghost of rasa. Rasāgraha, he said, “they’re grabbed by it.” They keep thinking, “Oh, yeah, but I remember that time.”

So it’s very poignant, what you said about the power of the sound. And the saṅkīrtana movement is based on that; it’s spreading that same sound vibration, Bhagavad-gītā, and the holy names to other living entities.
