Chapter 8
Performing actions, thinking them as God's. While performing actions, a striver thinks that he is fortunate enough that he is rendering service to God, through actions, because such actions are His. So, he has sweet remembrance of God, just like a father, who while performing different actions for his daughter's marriage remembers his daughter.
Spiritual pursuits are of two kinds—(i) Utterance of His name, loud chanting, listening to his sport, thinking of Him, and reading scriptures. (ii) Performance of actions, thinking them as God's, in order to please Him, without any selfish motive and in accordance with, the ordinance of scriptures. Such actions, are also included, in spiritual pursuits.
[At the end of the seventh chapter, Lord Krsna, while describing His entire form referred to seven facts. On those - seven facts, Arjuna put seven questions, at the beginning of the eighth chapter, and this topic is also over, in seven verses.]
