Krishna during his conversation with vidur during the penultimate night before karnas death had said that karna and not arjuna was actually the one who was unknowingly following the teachings of krishna in bhagwadgita. Krishna also said that the greatest warrior in the war was karna and not kauntaiya.he further told that pandavas had always wanted krishna by their side as they knew that it was only krishna due to whom they cud secure victory on kauravas where as karna unselfishly adored and respected krishna . K arna knowing that fighting against krishna wud be like inviting his death still stood on opposite side just for the sake of his mitra dharm.Krishna too adored karna very much which he himself had confessed to vidur.
Lastly krishna was the one to give agni to karna’s dead body .

Balancing Act
It has been cleared by krishna in mahabharat that he had to do the balancing act by getting karna killed . Karna was son of sun and arjun was son of indra.
During Shri krishna’s previous birth of Shri ram he had killed Vali the vanar king in order to help his friend sugriva .
Vali was son of indra and sugriva was son of sun. He had given a word to indra that in next birth he would certainly balance the act of killing his son in next age.

Charity of Karna:
Karna was famous for his charity. He was popularly known as
' Dana Karna '. But there is only one incident in Maha Bharatha
depicting his charity. Karna, knowing full well that he was committing
a suicidal act, gave his natural ear-rings and armour to Indra.
Even in his dying moments karna had broke his two golden teeth and given as daan to a needy old man who dint have money to perform last rites of his dead son.
(a) Once Duryodhana wanted to compete with Karna in charity.
He wanted to attract people by munificent charities. Indra decided to
show the greatness of Karna to Duryodahana. He created heavy rains
continuously for ten days. 'Then Indra, in the disguise of an old
Brahmin, went to Duryodhana and requested ten cartfuls of dry firewood.
Duryodhana pleaded his inability. Then that pseudo-Brahmin
approached Karna and put forth the same request. Karna immediately
demolished his beautiful palace without any hesitation, pulled out the
wooden beams from the roof and gave that Brahmin all the dry firewood
that he wanted. That Brahmin carried those ten cartfuls of dry
firewood passing before the gate of Duryodhana's palace. Duryodhana
was ashamed of the charity of Karna, his own feudatory.
Note: Similarly Krishna showed to Arjuna in similar context showed greatness of Karna's Charitable Nature
(b) Once Krishna wanted to show the charity of Karna to Dharma
Raja. He created a big mountain of gold and asked Dharma Raja to
distribute it quickly among the poor. Dharma Raja began his charity
but he could not complete it even after taking months together. Then
Krishna called for Karna and asked him to give the gold in charity.
Immediately Karna, showing the hill of gold to Krishna, said: " Sri
Krishnarpanamastu " (=I offer the whole thing to Sri Krishna).
Dharma Raja was astonished to note this.

Karna Most Lucky
Quote
Bhagavad Gita As It Is
Chapter 8. Attaining the Supreme
TEXT 5
anta-kale ca mam eva
smaran muktva kalevaram
yah prayati sa mad-bhavam
yati nasty atra samsayah
SYNONYMS
anta-kale--at the end of life; ca--also; mam--unto Me; eva--certainly; smaran--remembering; muktva--quitting; kalevaram--the body; yah--he who; prayati--goes; sah--he; mat-bhavam--My nature; yati--achieves; na--not; asti--there is; atra--here; samsayah--doubt.
TRANSLATION
And whoever, at the time of death, quits his body, remembering Me alone, at once attains My nature. Of this there is no doubt.
PURPORT
In this verse the importance of Krsna consciousness is stressed. Anyone who quits his body in Krsna consciousness is at once transferred to the transcendental abode of the Supreme Lord. The word smaran ("remembering") is important. Remembrance of Krsna is not possible for the impure soul who has not practiced Krsna consciousness in devotional service.
Note:- It Does not matter How a Person is Born what Matters is how he Dies
