What specific analogies does Chapter 26 use to illustrate the unreality of the physical world?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 26

Chapter 26 of the Sai Satcharitra employs vivid analogies to explain the illusory nature of the physical world. Firstly, it compares the universe to a city reflected in a mirror, which appears to be there but has no real substance in the mirror itself. Secondly, it likens the world to a dream born of desires, which feels real but dissolves completely upon waking. A third powerful analogy mentioned is that of mistaking a rope for a snake, a garland, or a stick due to ignorance of its true nature. These metaphors from Chapter 26 all serve to illustrate that the perceived world is a product of Maya and lacks independent reality outside the Self.
