Most of those who faithfully follow religious rituals are those who follow the guidance of the elders of the family or the society. They are not those who have studied the scriptures by themselves.
Arjuna asks this question to Lord Krishna: "What is the state of those who, endowed with faith, perform sacrifices, distribute wealth, etc. in honor of gods and others by ignoring the injunctions of the scriptures?"
"Ignoring" does not mean "rejection" but "not having the understanding of". Therefore, he also adds, "Such performance of rituals can be determined as sattva, rajas, or tamas?"
Lord Krishna has maintained that "faith" is more important than "action". However, even the faith is of three types according to Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas nature of the person.
