Yogi: Should I just not follow greed when wisdom is not strong enough?

Sayadaw: Now is the time to practice. You can choose to stop a while and watch the greed and see how it goes. 

If it still tells you to follow, go with it – take that path and watch the greed. At least take the opportunity to watch and learn about greed.

This way, greed gets its way and you get your way too – you squeeze some money out of greed.

It is interesting – if you do what greed says and you watch all the consequent actions and how greed moves, you can learn something deep about greed.

We need to get to the heart of understanding how greed makes us suffer. We need to experience it to understand it. 

At home, all the time, we’re just like a mouse in greed’s paws being played about; now at least we hit it in the eye while being played about. 

Yogi: That’s more fruitful than struggling with it.

Sayadaw: You cannot stop greed from happening – just let it.
