Hinduism says that the world is not real but merely an illusion. According to Hinduism, the 'Parmatma' i.e the divine all knowing spirit forgets its true nature and draws on the cloak of ignorance to become the 'Jeevatma', namely, you and me, and the world as we see it is merely an illusion, 'Maya', to support this ignorance. The ignorance mentioned here alludes to our notions of birth and death. An excellent English text which will help you with regard to this question is 'Self Unfoldment' by Swami Chinmayananda.
