[823] Heedlessness (pamāda), in the phrase "one should not dwell with heedlessness," is to be described: the giving over of the mind (citta) to the five strands of sensual pleasure, or the repeated giving over of it, through misconduct by body, misconduct by speech, or misconduct by mind; or, with regard to the cultivation of wholesome dhammas, acting without care, acting without perseverance, acting inconstantly, slack behavior, the casting aside of zeal, the casting aside of the task, non-pursuit, non-development, non-cultivation, non-resolution, non-application — this is heedlessness. Whatever heedlessness there is of this kind — heedlessness, being heedless, the state of being heedless — this is called heedlessness. "One should not dwell with heedlessness" means: one should not live together with heedlessness, should not abide with it, should not dwell in company with it; one should abandon heedlessness, dispel it, make an end of it, and bring it to non-existence; one should be far from heedlessness, abstinent, refraining from it, gone out from it, released, freed, and detached from it; one should dwell with a mind made free of boundaries. Hence, "one should not dwell with heedlessness."
