GOOD/BAD DEEDS

Good deeds result in good effects and bad in bad effects.This is the 
fundamental law as emphasised in vEdhas and upanishads.

Coming to think of it , what is good ? That which lasts for ever is good. 

Does the effect of good deed - puNNiyam - lasts for ever. No? Does it remove 
the cycle of rebirths? No.
Then how can it be termed as good deed, just because it yields ephemeral 
benefits?
The bad deed as the name goes -is pApam- results in rebirth after suffering.

Both pApam and puNNiyam result in rebirth. That is why our AchAryAs consider 
both as shackles . Only thing is puNNIyam is considered as golden shackle
pon vilangu and pApam as irumbu vilangu. In the ultimate analysis, both are 
considered as vilangu and leads to continuing bondage.

SvAmi Nam AzhwAr describeds as a bad effects 'sArndha iru val vinai' 1-5 of 
TiruvAiMozhi.

In no way it is being advocated to drop all the good deeds. However, these are 
just but a code of conduct and in no way good or bad capable of taking one near 
to EmperumAn.
