Question about sotapanna insight

[xtracorrupt]

When one becomes a ''sotapanna'' is it the realization that one does not actually need anything?

I was wondering this because I was wondering if one realized he had no needs and then his next desire was happiness, would he achieve only happiness?

Nope.
Human beings have needs.

Ok, but a sotapanna doesn't need identity though, so he can't use identity as a justification for need.

A sotapanna has merely glimpsed Nibanna, there are still many fetters remaining to give one a sense of self. But a sotapanna knows this is an illusion, so the sense of self is not as strong.

Hi xtracorrupt,

No offence, but this is like asking how does chocolate ice-cream taste.

Well wishes,
