If He was a Zen Master

If he was pointing to a Way of Life outlined in Proverbs,
with an understanding that after surrendering all of his desires, including his desire for the world,
with the understanding from the Tao Te Ching that to take over the world was possible by making this choice,
with an understanding that man is not his mind and he can therefore be the vessel and inhabitant of the seven “minds” of God laid out in the holy scriptures,
He would become the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
there was no man left in him,
he left his man behind him and became a direct vessel of his Father.

He became a master in every sense.
The Master disappears, the works are finished.
