Actually thought is a prison we are in.
When we pay full attention there is no greed in the mind,
greed is actually a thought.
Without thinking can you actually make yourself
become greedy? Try it.

Without thinking about a story or a person, a situation, we
cannot become greedy. So greed accompanies a thought. The same thing with anger; without thinking anything about it you can't get angry. So right here and now there is nothing to be greedy about, there is nothing to be angry about. That is freedom actually: no greed, no anger, full attention. That's why no delusion,no absent-mindedness.
