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

Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra explains that the physical world and the entire universe are an illusion created by Maya, similar to a city reflected in a mirror. It states that from the Creator Brahma down to a blade of grass, everything physical is imagined and merely a display of Maya. The text uses the analogy of mistaking a rope for a snake due to ignorance of one's true nature, suggesting the visible world is illusory and has no independent existence outside the Self. This illusion only dissolves with true knowledge, which arrives when it is time for awakening through the Guru's word.
