Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra delves into the philosophical concept of Maya, explaining that the physical world is an illusion. The text uses several analogies to illustrate this point, comparing the universe to a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that seems real but vanishes upon waking. As detailed in this chapter, everything from the Creator down to a blade of grass is imagined, and this entire world is merely a display of Maya. It is due to ignorance of our true nature that we mistake reality, much like a person might mistake a rope for a snake in the dark. This illusion, the chapter states, dissolves only with the attainment of true knowledge, which is granted by a Sadguru.
