A sadhak (one who does spiritual practice) will not have time to indulge in gossip. They will not feel like talking to anyone in a harsh manner.

In the Bhagavad Gita (9:33), the Lord said, "anityam-asukham lokam-imam prapya bhajasva mam." This world is transitory; this we all know.

Hence, the message of the Lord is, “Why do you toil so much in a world where there is no chance of gaining anything?”
