How does Chapter 26 describe the relationship between the Self, the universe, and Maya?

Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra presents a non-dualistic view of reality, where the true Self is the ultimate foundation. It teaches that the nature of the Self is "self-luminous and eternal." In contrast, the entire universe and all physical objects are described as a "play and a marvel of Maya." The text explains that all objects are actually "within oneself" and "woven into the soul," but they appear manifest due to the illusion of Maya, much like a reflection in a mirror. This world-spread, as the chapter calls it, has no independent existence outside the Self. True knowledge, received from a Guru, allows one to realize this and see beyond the illusory physical world to the eternal, self-luminous Self.
