Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
How can I become compassionate without feeling proud of my kindness?
Selfless karuna flows by nature
Daya brings the feeling of being the doer, but karuna flows by nature and is free of desire. To become dayavan (a person of daya), experience others' sorrow as your own.
If you show daya, the feeling of being the doer will appear, but if you show karuna to someone, no such feeling will appear in karuna.
