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

Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the physical world is an illusion, or Maya, much like a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that vanishes upon waking. It states that from the Creator down to a blade of grass, everything physical is imagined and has no independent existence outside the Self. This illusion persists due to ignorance, similar to mistaking a rope for a snake. The chapter emphasizes that only a Sadguru is capable of granting the true knowledge that dissolves this illusion, allowing the light of non-dual bliss to shine forth when the time for awakening arrives through the Guru's word.
