According to Baba, what is the nature of worldly existence, and what is required for a true 'awakening'?

According to the teachings described in Chapter 19, the world is perceived as transient, and the universe is considered an illusion—a 'false play of Maya in pure consciousness.' Worldly affairs are likened to the arrangements of a dream, making it futile to labor for them. The text from Chapter 19 emphasizes that a true 'awakening' from this delusion and the bonds of grief is not possible without the 'science of the oneness of the Self' and the 'revelation of the true nature of the Soul.' Just as a dream vanishes upon moving into wakefulness, one who is situated in their true self does not remember worldly affairs.
