According to Chapter 26, what is the world we see really like? It mentions something about Maya.

Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the physical world and the entire universe are an illusion created by Maya. It compares this reality to a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that appears real but vanishes upon waking. The chapter teaches that from the Creator Brahma down to a blade of grass, everything is imagined and does not have an independent existence outside of the Self. This illusion is likened to mistaking a rope for a snake due to ignorance. As mentioned in Chapter 26, this visible world is illusory and only dissolves with true knowledge, which comes when the time for awakening through the Guru’s word arrives.
