This is pending one's school of thought... within kaśmir śaivism the world is not an illusion, but none other then the Supreme in a condensed form. Māyā too is looked at differently - not as the culprit but of that power that allows the Supreme to 'throttle down' into differences i.e. diversity.
So, the wise tell us to know the Self you forget the world , to know the world you forget the Self. This is worthy of one's comprehension.
The key is perfectly forgetting and that brings one to the turīya level of Being.
iti śivaṁ
1. the wise quoted here is śrīnisarga-datta maharāj
