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

Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra explains that the physical world and the entire universe are an illusion created by Maya, much like a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that feels real but vanishes upon waking. The text states that from the Creator Brahma down to a blade of grass, everything physical is imagined and the world is merely a display of Maya. This illusion is born from ignorance of one's true nature, similar to mistaking a rope for a snake. As detailed in Chapter 26, this visible world is illusory and dissolves with the attainment of true knowledge, which arrives through the Guru's guidance.
