According to the philosophical invocation in Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra, the physical world and the entire universe are considered an illusion created by Maya. The text explains that all objects are like a city reflected in a mirror—they appear manifest but are not truly there. This visible world is described as illusory and is compared to a dream that vanishes upon waking. The chapter states that from the Creator Brahma down to a blade of grass, everything physical is imagined and is merely a display of Maya, having no independent existence outside of the Self.
