How does Chapter 26 explain the concept of Maya and the illusory nature of the physical world?

Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra explains the concept of Maya by using several powerful analogies. It describes the physical world and the entire universe as being like a city reflected in a mirror—an illusion that appears real but has no true substance. The text further elaborates that this visible world is a mere display of Maya, similar to how a rope might be mistaken for a snake in the dark due to ignorance. This entire world-spread is said to have no independent existence outside the Self and is something that dissolves once true knowledge is gained through the Guru's teachings, much like a dream vanishes upon waking.
