The 悟り is a bit sarcastic, but yes, I think that actually works.

Doesn't it make less sense as a second gloss? It makes more "dictionarial" sense to 
me to lead with something slightly opaque (but more literal) and then follow it up 
with an explanation, than the other way around.

OK, but not as first gloss, and an xref to give a bit of context for the term.

They are "enlightened" (さとってる) in the Buddhist sense - that's why they "lack ambition and 
material desire".

I don't think that first gloss helped at all. Ordered on Googits.
