- Up to the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna focused on the nature of the soul (त्वम्) which is limited by its misunderstanding, and the means to prepare the seeker.
- In the previous chapter Lord Krishna explained the nature of the Reality (तत्) which is the goal for the seeker. He gave out the knowledge and the ways to practice.
- In the end, the seed for the eighth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita was planted by Lord Krishna in the mind of Arjuna. The alert student Arjuna raised questions about Brahman and the means to know It.
- He also wanted to know the nature of action, essential elements, and God. These questions are theoretical and will satisfy the quest of the intellect. The explanations for these will quiet the student's mind and prepare him for further progress in the spiritual pursuit.
