Gita 8.11: Mentioned in the aforesaid Verses 8 to 10, the True Happiness-giving Supreme God [Sachchidanand ghan Parmeshwar], whom the knower of the Vedas i.e. Tatvdarshi saints in reality call immortal. In whom striving worshippers, who are free from attachment, enter i.e. attain Him. The desirous of whom, practice celibacy i.e. they even try to attain that God by practicing celibacy. I will briefly i.e. in allusive manner say that state i.e. that method of bhakti, the way of worship for attaining that Supreme God to you.

Meaning: In this Gita Chapter the giver of the knowledge of Gita, while delivering the knowledge of different religious practices, is saying that the naam (mantra) which a Tatvdarshi saint tells for jaap (recitation/repetition), by which one attains salvation, I will tell that path which has been mentioned in Gita Chapter 17 Verse 23 that for the worship of Purna Parmatma (Supreme God) the only mantra is Om’ - Tat’ - Sat’; nothing else.
