Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra delves deeply into the philosophy of Maya, explaining that the physical world and the entire universe are like a city reflected in a mirror—an illusion. The text states that this visible world appears manifest but is, in reality, unmanifest and woven into the soul. It uses analogies, such as a dream that vanishes upon waking or mistaking a rope for a snake due to ignorance, to illustrate that the world has no independent existence outside the Self. According to this chapter, this entire expanded world is merely a display of Maya that dissolves with true knowledge granted by a Sadguru.
