Dear Claus.
I read this sutta (AN I.51-52) with Jim and Suan. It is suitable
you bring it up, since this is the thread on Anguttara Nikaya we also
followed with Yong Peng.
I read commentary and tiika (very worth while), and give you part of
the co. below. Indeed it is about balavaa vipassanaa, which is a
higher stage, I believe the first principle stage (mahaa). Then there
can be awareness in any circumstance or at any place or time. It is
one of my favorites.
The taru.na are the first three beginning stages.
Nina.

N: He understands as it really is: namely, in as far as he knows ,
that this is indeed the life-continuum that is not freed from
uncoming defilements; this is indeed defiled, thus, in as far as he
knows the state of this as it really is.

N: There is mental development, namely, there is mental stability,
acquirement (of wisdom): there is thus development, as he explains
with the words, �there is, I say�. In this discourse insight as power
has been spoken of. Some say that it is tender insight.
