When is dan counted in Karam Khand?

a) When you give it only to needy Sikhs.

b) When you give it to needy people of all religions.

c) When you give it to friends.

It is irrelevant to whom Daan is given to, but it matter with what intentions...It become Karam Khand when it is given with the thought that you are going to receive something in return, either from God or the person you gave the Daan to. If given without ego and expecting something in return only then is it Daan otherwise you are simply creating Karma.

Papi made an excellent point. There is only one Daata(giver)...let us not fool our egos into thinking that we too can be Givers to others. Whatever it is that we are giving to others is from the treasure of what the only True Giver has given to us. Beggars cannot be givers, they can share from what they have begged from the Giver.
