Chapter 26 talks about the world being an illusion like a city in a mirror. Can you explain this concept of Maya based on the text?

According to the philosophical teachings in Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra, the entire physical world and universe are considered an illusion created by Maya. The text explains that these objects are like a city reflected in a mirror—they appear manifest but are not truly there. In reality, they are unmanifest and woven into the soul. This chapter compares this illusion to a dream that seems real but vanishes upon waking. It is stated that this entire expanded world is merely a display of Maya, and due to ignorance of our true nature, we perceive this illusion as reality, much like mistaking a rope for a snake in the dark.
