Krishna’s teachings in all the chapters of The Bhagavad Gita except the 8th chapter, is to prepare us to attain Jeevan mukthi, that is liberation in this birth itself.
In the chapter 8, Krishna elaborates krama mukthi in order to help those sincere sadhakas who continue to meditate on The God with form but are unable to get liberation in this life because of not gaining self knowledge, Atma Jnanam.
Main topic addressed in this chapter is the significance of remembering God at the time of death.
Krishna also covers 6 technical terms which he introduced in the last 2 verses of Chapter 7.
