How does Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra describe the world we see and the concept of Maya?

Chapter 26 explains that the physical world and the entire universe are ultimately an illusion created by Maya. The text uses several powerful analogies to illustrate this point. It compares the world to a city reflected in a mirror, which appears real but has no true existence there. It is also likened to a dream that seems real while we are in it but dissolves upon waking. As detailed in Chapter 26, another analogy used is that of a rope being mistaken for a snake or a garland due to ignorance of its true nature. The chapter emphasizes that this visible, manifest world is illusory and will dissolve once true knowledge is gained through the Guru's grace, revealing that it has no independent existence outside the Self.
