Are You Saying, I Should Drop All My Desires to be Enlightened and then Become a Plankter?

Once enlightened by giving up all desires, then one will become a plankter.
The brain will vanish.
Since it has no desire of marching forward, the hands and feet will disappear.
Only the mouth and anus will remain.
Through them, only liquid will come in and out.
With no future and past, it will feel there is only present.
The shape will be a mere cube, ‘tis truly funny.

But embarrassingly enough, I’ve seen, among the enlightened ones, a plankter with two fins emerging from both sides of the cubes. It was really funny. It dawned on me that evolution might be an embarrassing thing. To become a human then regress back to a plankter, and then again to go from a plankter to a human, thus evolution will continue.
