You sit, having become a master; this itself is a sin that clings to the mind.
This couplet cautions us against the trap of ego. It suggests that when we start believing we are the 'master' or ultimate controller of things, it's actually a flaw or 'sin' that clings to our mind. It reminds us to cultivate humility and understand that true power doesn't come from self-proclaimed mastery, but from letting go of the ego. Believing you are the sole doer or owner creates a burden on the mind, hindering true spiritual growth.
