[Advaita-l] Please tell the meaning of this Verse

[Harsha Bhat]

Namaste...
                             First of all,Thank you for your wonderful
explanation...

                          My question is about this line.....of your
explanation

"If the phenomenal world really existed, then, of course, it would have
disappeared."..

I din't get the meaning of this sentence....If the world is really existed
,then it will never disappear no???......

How Upanishad says if this world really existed THEN IT WILL DISAPPEAR ????

Real things will never disappear...it will always exists...So, how they say
o??

Regards,
Harsha Bhat
