How does understanding the world as an illusion help a spiritual seeker persevere on their path, according to Baba's teachings?

According to the teachings in Chapter 19, perceiving the world as transient is the crucial first step that sparks the idea of detachment. Without this perception, the spiritual traveler's vision is distracted by the 'illusion of the universe,' which is described as a false play of Maya in pure consciousness. This bewilders the seeker, who doesn't know where to go. All worldly affairs are compared to the arrangements of a dream. By understanding this transient nature, the seeker realizes it is vain to labor for them. This realization is a form of 'awakening' that helps one persevere by focusing on their true self and breaking the bonds of grief and delusion, rather than getting lost in worldly affairs.
