What is the difference between daya and karuna, and which is true compassion?
Daya shows outside, karuna is born within
Daya (pity) shows outside and pride is possible in it, while karuna (compassion) happens within the heart, and pride does not enter it. Karuna happens within, and it can be offered to anyone.
Pride is possible in daya (pity), and daya is a feeling that happens outside, but karuna (compassion) is a feeling that happens within.
