You also have to include the total gravitational energy or T^{ab}  due to 
local sources and Λg^{ab}. 

The ADM Hamiltonian constraint is NH = 0 where this Hamiltonian is 
determined by the traceless transverse part of the extrinsic curvature or 
Gauss fundamental form. For a general spacetime manifold there is no way to 
define mass-energy and for most Petrov types the mass-energy is simply no 
defined. Think of a spherical space with matter throughout. There is no way 
to construct a Gaussian surface with which to integrate a total mass or 
energy. Also if that putative surface is embedded in mass-energy then that 
surface is subject to diffeomorphisms of local curvature. Energy is then 
not localizable, and in general things that we want invariant are so 
independent of such diffeomorphisms.
