Chapter 26 presents a profound philosophical view on Maya, describing the physical world as an illusion. It uses several analogies to explain this, stating that the universe is like a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that seems real but vanishes upon waking. According to this chapter, everything from the Creator down to a blade of grass is imagined and merely a display of Maya. It compares this illusion to mistaking a rope for a snake due to ignorance of one's true, self-luminous nature. The text clarifies that this visible world is illusory and will dissolve when true knowledge is received through the words of a Sadguru.
