The way Tibetan Lamas explained it to me when I first met them in the early 1980s it is something like this: "There is no becoming a master. The master is already perfect there within you every moment."
All one has to do is to remove the veil and experience it. Imagine you are all in the audience looking up at the curtain in a play. And then imagine every one of you excited and waiting to see yourselves as the full master you are. Now the curtains fall back and all of you: the whole audience is up on the stage manifesting the master that each of you are. And once you become that master on the stage then all you have to do is to get up out of your seat in the theater, walk onto that stage and step into the master that you are already.
So, be the master that you are. Realize the master that you are. There is no becoming.
Be the Master that you already are.
It reminds me a lot of Yoda's saying: "There is no try there is only do!"
