How does Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra explain the concept of Maya and the nature of reality?

Chapter 26 presents a deep philosophical explanation of Maya, describing it as the force that creates the illusion of the physical world. The text states that the entire universe is like a city reflected in a mirror—an illusion that appears manifest but is truly unmanifest and woven into the soul. According to Chapter 26, this visible world is illusory and dissolves with true knowledge, much like a dream vanishes upon waking. It uses the analogy of mistaking a rope for a snake due to ignorance to illustrate how the world has no independent existence outside the Self. The chapter posits that this realization comes only through the grace and teachings of a Sadguru, who helps the disciple see beyond Maya's play.
