For the individual (who is not meditating upon me) who meditates upon the sense objects which are Sabdham (sound), sparSa (touch), rUpa (form), rasa (taste), gandha (smell) (due to taste in them from time immemorial) , his attachment in those sense objects grows; due to that attachment, lust (that, without engaging in which, one finds it unbearable) occurs abundantly; due to that lust, anger occurs more.

Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam

‘To the person who dotes on sense-objects, union therewith is generated. From union springs lust, and from lust springs hate (or wrath).’
