Those who have pristine pure mind will not get affected. They will have strong memory power. It will in their stock in sub-conscious mind always.

Those who have lot of impurities and malice hidden in different nooks and corners of the mind may suffer because of poor memory. Flush out all sorts of impurities and malice from your mind.

Then you will also be eligible to have good memory.

The so called impurities in the mind are unhealthy thoughts, habits or traits. Besides that illegitimate desire, anger, delusion, infatuation, negligence, carelessness, inadvertence, greed, jealousy, lust, malice, hatred, bias, envy, hypocrisy, negative emotions, mental agitation, arrogance, pride, prejudice, ignorance, lethargy, doubt, confusion, fear, worry, anxiety, frustration, grief, suspicion, dejection, conceit, temptations, stupor, hesitation, reluctance, forgetfulness, stupidity, superstition, oscillation, distraction, distortion, wrong hallucination, etc. are also impurities. These impurities cause disturbances in the mind by creating attachment and aversion and thus rob it of tranquility.

They are the urges, impulses and negative emotions.
