What does Chapter 26 say about the nature of reality and the world we perceive?

According to the philosophical invocation in Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra, the physical world and the entire universe are considered an illusion created by Maya. The text compares this reality to a city reflected in a mirror or a dream that seems real but vanishes upon waking. It states that from the Creator down to a blade of grass, everything physical is imagined and does not have an independent existence outside of the Self. This illusory world is said to dissolve with true knowledge, which arrives through the words of a Sadguru, revealing the self-luminous and eternal nature of the Self.
