Baba mentions that the world is a visual illusion. How does this idea relate to achieving inner peace through meditation?

Baba uses a powerful analogy in Chapter 19 to explain the transient nature of the world. He compares the constant changes we see to waves, bubbles, and foam on the sea. These are all just different forms of the same water, a 'display of visual illusion' or Maya that lasts only as long as the wind blows. Those with discrimination are not puzzled by this worldly flux. By understanding that these forms are perishable, one can stop competing for them and instead strive for 'the eternal gain.' This correct knowledge of Reality is the necessary foundation for true meditation, which leads to inner peace.
