undesiring
Lacking any craving
Undesiring means lacking desire or want—free from craving or longing.
The word suggests a state of contentment or detachment rather than active rejection: an undesiring mind, undesiring of fame or fortune.
It appears mostly in philosophical or spiritual contexts describing freedom from material wants.
