As long as the ego (sense of 'I') exists in an individual, duality exists. Actions of an individual, motivated by reasoning on imperfect knowledge is bound to have effects on the individual as the ego presumes responsibility for the knowledge, reasoning and actions. As there cannot be any objective judgments such as right/wrong, good/bad etc about such actions, the individual is in limbo.
When the ego dissolves (this depends on whether ego is a real/illusory entity!), I think, all actions will become completely unselfish. When there is no doer (ego), there is no ground for the effects of actions to affect the doer.
How can an individual with ego attain the state of dissolved ego? I don't think it is possible because all actions of the individual with ego produces effects that affects the ego and only bolsters its presence.
