Chapter 26 of the Shri Sai Satcharitra presents a profound philosophical view, explaining that the physical world and the entire universe are essentially 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. As detailed in this chapter, everything from the Creator Brahma down to a blade of grass is imagined, and this visible world is merely a display of Maya that has no independent existence outside of the Self. True knowledge, which arrives through the Guru's grace, dissolves this illusion, revealing the Self's true, self-luminous, and eternal nature.
