Once Arjuna asks Krishna why Yudhishthir is called Dharmaraj (Religion king) and

Karna Daanveer (Donation king) even though both never refused alms to anyone.
Krishna says wait for some time and I will let you know.
After a month, it was raining heavily in the whole kingdom when both Krishna and
Arjuna, in disguise of Brahmins (wise men/priests), first go to Yudhishthir saying that
we are doing a Yajna[1] and need 100Kg of sandalwood. Yudhishthir immediately sends
his servants across the kingdom, and later refuses saying it is difficult to find dry Sandal
wood anywhere. Let me know if I can arrange anything else for you. Both brahmins say
no thanks and leave the place.
Then they go to Karna and make the same demand. Karna thinks for a while and says it
is raining heavily outside, it is least likely to get dry Sandal wood anywhere. He takes out
his bow and arrow and cuts all windows and doors of his palace and compiles them for
the brahmins.
Later Krishna says to Arjuna, it is not that Yudhishthir would have refused if we would
have asked for wood from his doors and windows. But this idea didn't strike Yudhishthir
in the first place. Yudhishthir donates because it is written in Dharma (religion), Karna
donates because he likes to do it.
The message of the story is very subtle. So many times in office and other places we see
people who just put superficial effort to show others and make themselves feel good
about their effort. They don't put their heart and soul in it. Somewhere, getting things
done is not in their mind, they do it just because they have to.
