“Mendicants, a mendicant with six qualities can’t realize supreme coolness. What six? It’s when a mendicant doesn’t keep their mind in check when they should. They don’t exert their mind when they should. They don’t encourage the mind when they should. They don’t watch over the mind with equanimity when they should. They have inferior convictions. They delight in substantial reality. A mendicant with these six qualities can’t realize supreme coolness.
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu abhabbo anuttaraṁ sītibhāvaṁ sacchikātuṁ. Katamehi chahi? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ niggahetabbaṁ tasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ na niggaṇhāti, yasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ paggahetabbaṁ tasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ na paggaṇhāti, yasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ sampahaṁsitabbaṁ tasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ na sampahaṁseti, yasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ ajjhupekkhitabbaṁ tasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ na ajjhupekkhati, hīnādhimuttiko ca hoti, sakkāyābhirato ca. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu abhabbo anuttaraṁ sītibhāvaṁ sacchikātuṁ.

They encourage the mind when they should. They watch over the mind with equanimity when they should. They have excellent convictions. They delight in extinguishment. A mendicant with these six qualities can realize supreme coolness.”
