Yes. The description of y not is right.
Just as people with same gati (gathi) tend to associate with each other, many unseen beings tend to be attracted to people with similar gati; see, “The Law of Attraction, Habits, Character (Gati), and Cravings (Asavas)“.
So, devas and even brahmas may “help out” or at least give their blessings to those humans with high moral standards like theirs.
On the other hand, beings from lower realms (with bad intentions) tend to be attracted to humans with similar “bad gati”. They may influence those with “weak minds” to do immoral things. So, there could be truth to some stories where people claim that they heard voices asking them to kill certain people.
Of course, there are some devas in higher realms, like the Mara Devaputta, who may harass those humans who are making an effort to attain Nibbana.
– Mara would not encourage people to do bad, immoral things. He just wants people to to moral deeds and to become a deva like him.
– Mara does not understand that his life as a deva of a higher realm will end one day, and thus he may be born in an apaya in the future.
In any case, it ALWAYS good to give merits to ALL BEINGS.
However, “worshipping devas or brahmas” is not in Buddha Dhamma.
