According to Chapter 26 of Sai Satcharitra, what is the nature of the physical world, and how can one perceive its true reality?

Chapter 26 explains that the physical world and the entire universe are an illusion created by Maya, much like a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that disappears upon waking. The text states that this visible world is illusory and only dissolves with true knowledge, which occurs when the time for awakening through the Guru’s word arrives. It emphasizes that in this world, only the Guru is capable of granting the knowledge of Truth to a disciple. As this chapter reveals, this profound realization happens when the Guru-Soul, who is God, is pleased, allowing one to understand that the world has no independent existence outside the Self.
