What advice did Bhagavan give about how to sharpen our self-vigilance?

In this episode Michael James answers the question: “Did Bhagavan give any advice on sharpening one’s vigilance, so that one can reduce the gap between attention drifting outwards and one becoming aware of it? I understand that this is dependent on the strength of one’s viṣaya-vāsanās. Although this gap has reduced considerably over a period of time, instant awareness still eludes me”.
