Experiencing the world thru the 5 senses is a function of the mind. Even a lovely fragrance you will miss if the mind is else where.
The intellect is that which categorizes experience into good or bad or indifferent.
The memory is where past is stored, unpleasant memories are trauma, pleasant ones are, well, pleasant
Intellect works between the mind and the memory.
Ego is that which creates a sense of identity.
And all these including the body are continually changing.
The body, mind, intellect, ego keep changing - but to identify change, there needs to be an unchanging reference point... This is the Self.
The self/soul/atma ...is the unchanging
Though there is an argument that the vasna's & karma's etc are carried forward so how is soul unchanging.
