Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 7, Verse 20

Others again, deprived of discrimination by this or that desire, following this or that rite, devote themselves to other gods, led by their own natures.

Chasing specific, immediate wants can genuinely pull someone's real attention toward smaller, closer sources instead.

This isn't harsh judgment, it's an honest description of a real, common pattern. Strong desire for something specific tends to point people toward whoever seems capable of delivering it quickly, rather than the deeper source behind everything.
