How does Chapter 26 explain the concept of Maya and its relationship to the physical world?

According to the philosophical invocation in Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the physical world and the entire universe are considered an illusion created by Maya. The text likens this to a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that appears real but vanishes upon waking. It states that from the Creator down to a blade of grass, everything physical is imagined and merely a display of Maya. This visible world is described as illusory and is said to dissolve with the attainment of true knowledge, which comes through the Guru's grace. This entire world-spread is believed to have no independent existence outside of the Self.
