So when one is awake there is craving but it does not lead to dukkha as there is no delight and lust?
I would say a Buddha, fully awake, has no craving due to the power of their insight (vipassana).

Is his first words, the Buddha declared taṇhānaṃ khaya - the destruction of craving.

But other lesser enlightened beings may experience forms of craving without dukkha.

I probably would not agree with Ajahn Sumedho who is using hunger has an example of craving.

'Tanha' is desire under the power of ignorance.
