What is the philosophical view on reality and the universe as explained in Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra?

Chapter 26 presents a profound philosophical perspective, stating that the entire physical world and universe are essentially an illusion created by Maya, similar to a city reflected in a mirror. This visible world is described as being unmanifest and woven into the soul, but appearing manifest due to ignorance. The text uses the analogy of mistaking a rope for a snake to illustrate how our perception of the world has no independent existence outside the Self. According to the teachings in Chapter 26, this illusion dissolves with true knowledge, which is granted by a Sadguru when the time for awakening arrives.
