Lord did not forget the prime idea of the eighth chapter.

Great Acharyas who see Srimad Bhagavad-Gita which has eighteen chapters, as the narration of 'Maha-vakyam' "Tattvamasi," divided the text into three parts of six chapters each.
"Of the 'Maha-vakyam' "Tattvamasi" the terms 'TAT' indicate "Paramatma," and 'TVAM' to "Jivatma" and 'ASI' to their oneness.
The first six chapters ( Prathamashtakam ) are about tvam ( jivatma ), next six chapters ( dvateeyashtakam ) about tat ( Paramatma ), after explaining these two parts in total till twelve chapters, the last six chapters ( triteeyashtakam ) will be the commentary of the term 'ASI.'
Now this thirteenth chapter onwards till eighteenth chapter will be the content of triteeyashtakam, it is said so.
