The Vedas per say is so very broad , incorporating those who relate with God in impersonal ways , as well as those who love to worship Demigods , instead of God , those who worship their forefathers and family traditions  , those who sacrifice the mental and intellectual energies searching for God , those that want something material from God , ultimately all these persons offer worship in one form or another , and draw benefit from the universal order .

Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita calls these persons less intelligent because intelligence means to connect with something that can give the highest benefits for our  consciousness ,  including love and pleasure , since we are all pleasure seeking best go to the sources of all pleasure,  or as AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada wrote Krishna is the reservoir of all pleasure .

So anybody who tries to understand God in one way or another , by following different religious practices or a philosophical pursuit or who tries to better themselves in ethical , moral , and compasionate ways are all in one way or another following the Vedas , and we should give due respect.

AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada said most people are innocent in the world , the ones to look out for are the out and out demoniac persons who are ruthless in many respects ,  Krishna in His Bhagavad Gita speaks of the qualities of the demoniac , so that helpful to us so as  to know who to be wary of , but also lookout for wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing .

So let’s celebrate that the world has many good people within it and together guard against the darker energies , but also by God’s mercy the darkness becomes light .
