three kinds of upekkha
1 - stuck internally on bliss of 4 jhānas, doesn't progress to higher samādhi
2 - mind scattered externally following unskillful thoughts
3 - no more clinging, no more rebirth, this is the last time.

one of the 5 masteries of perception of a noble enlightened being
The Buddha says, if simply having your 5 sense faculties shut off met the requirements for "developed faculties", then a blind man, or someone doing Vism. or Ajahn Brahm's heretical interpretation of "jhāna" would have "developed faculties."
The Buddha's definition of a Noble enlightened person's faculties, involves experiencing contact through the 6 sense doors and not being deluded by sensory data, not developing greed, craving, aversion, or confusion in response. For an arahant, upekkha, equanimous-observation that lucidly perceives reality correctly, is established immediately.
