1. He does not rein in his mind when it should be reined in

2. He does not exert his mind when it should be exerted

3. He does not gladden his mind when it should be gladdened

4. He does not watche over his mind when it should be watched over

5. He is not intent on what is exquisite

6. He does not know the Unbinding

(from Anguttara Nikaya 6.85)
