The way it says maximal actication here hints me that you can see activating as opening or intensifying the flow, while balancing can be done at a degree of activation to allow the current intensity of flow to be unimpeded.
If your chakra was a hose system, them the degree of activation is a bit like how open the valve is, while the state of balance is how freely the flow goes through the whole thing without being blocked.
edit : Activation is the amount of energy and balance is the purity of it. Less can be more, much more.

Quote:We have, many times now, spoken about the relative importance of balancing as opposed to the relative unimportance of maximal activation of each energy center.
