In my opinion, in metta bhava meditation, we truly understand the meaning of the words we chant in our minds, understand tilakkhana itself and the dangers in this world, not only pity seeing beings suffer, we even pity seeing beings who aspire to seek heaven.
By understanding the dangers of being reborn in samsara, we understand. Until disgust arises, then disgust eliminates kamaraga and pathiga.
As Mr. LaL wrote, meta bhava if developed to a certain extent can penetrate magga/phala anagami.
