According to Chapter 26 of Sai Satcharitra, what is the role of a Guru in helping a disciple overcome the illusion of the world?

Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that the physical world is an illusion created by Maya, much like a dream or a reflection in a mirror. Due to ignorance, we mistake this illusion for reality. The text emphasizes that in this world, only the Guru is capable of granting the knowledge of Truth to a disciple. It is through the Guru's word and grace that a disciple can achieve the state of wakefulness, causing the illusory world to dissolve. As the chapter states, when the Guru-Soul, who is God, is pleased, the true, self-luminous nature of the Self is realized.
