In the last verse in Chapter 7 the Lord used few words
which Arjuna did not understand. So he asks the
meaning of those words here: What is that Brahman?
What is the inner self? What is work? What are
elements & divinities? Who in this body operates the
sacrifices & how?

The supreme indestructible entity is Brahman.
The same Brahman existing in each living being
as the individual Soul is Adhyaathma. Work is
manifest creation, bringing beings into
existence.

Remembering whatever being one gives
up the body at death, that very being one
