Vismaraṇa (विस्मरण):—Forgetting
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Vismaraṇa (विस्मरण) refers to “forgetting (everything)” (in order to be established in one’s true Self), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] My son, you may recite or listen to countless scriptures, but you will not be established within until you can forget everything (sarva-vismaraṇa) [tathāpi na tava svāsthyaṃ sarvavismaraṇādṛte]. [...] If even Shiva, Vishnu or the lotus-born Brahma were your instructor, until you have forgotten everything (sarva-vismaraṇa) you cannot be established within. [tathāpi na tava svāsthyaṃ sarvavismaraṇādṛte]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
