You won't know you've got the winning ticket until there's no one there to claim it. LOL. In fact, it is a lottery, so get over it! Take a look, and see if what you're really doing is indulging in suckiness because it provides some subtle form of pleasure.
"Oh woe is me. I might have the winning ticket, but I'm not going to do anything to find out, so I'll just sit here and sulk." This is very funny.
Ramesh had just the right words for a suffering seeker. He said, Given a choice between a million bucks and getting enlightened, take the million bucks; at least you'll have something."
You keep saying to yourself that you don't want to make an effort until you're guaranteed to get the reward. Okay, I'll guarantee that if you get so busy and non-reflective that you forget yourself completely, you'll get the ultimate reward, and you won't be there to receive it. I can guarantee that 100%. The fundamental "problem" is that you think there is someone who needs something, and there isn't. Money to feel safe? What a laugh, you silly curmudgeon! You own the whole universe and you don't know it.
