How does Chapter 26 relate the concepts of Maya, the Self, and the Guru's grace to achieve non-dual bliss?

Chapter 26 intricately weaves together the concepts of Maya, the Self, and the Guru's grace to explain the path to non-dual bliss. It begins by establishing that the perceived world is a display of Maya, an illusion that obscures the true nature of the Self, which is self-luminous and eternal. Due to ignorance, this illusory world appears real. The chapter posits that this state of delusion can only be overcome through the intervention of a Sadguru. As the text explains, it is through the 'Great Sayings (Mahavakyas) of the Sadguru' that the 'light of non-dual bliss shines forth.' When the Guru-Soul is pleased, the disciple realizes the true foundation of the universe. Therefore, the Guru's grace is the catalyst that dissolves the illusion of Maya, awakens the disciple to their eternal Self, and grants the experience of unity.
