The profound relation between memory and consciousness is clearly indicated in apasmara. In Ayurveda, memory is termed as fundamental knowledge based upon experiences acquired through sense and motor organs. In psychology, memory is the mental capacity with which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Consciousness is the state of awareness of internal events and external environment.   In Apasmara, consciousness is affected leading to transient loss of memory.

The forbearance of mind is based upon intellect [dhi] and pure quality of mind [sattva]. Dhi discriminates between right and wrong things. Sattva is pure quality that might be named as “mental immunity” which protects mind in all adverse conditions. In apasmara, both the intellect and pure quality of mind are afflicted leading to poor forbearance.
