1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 18

Gatih bharta prabhuh sakshi nivasah sharanam suhrd I

Prabhavah pralayah sthanam nidhanam bijam avyayam II sloka 18

गतिः भर्ता प्रभुः साक्षी निवासः शरणम् सुह्रद I 
प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानम् निधानम् बीजम् अव्ययम् I I  श्लोक 18

I am the Goal, the Supporter, the Lord, the Witness, the Abode, the Refuge and the Friend. I am the seat of Origin and  Dissolution, the base for preservation and the Seed Imperishable,

'Gatih' means that which is reached. The meaning is that it is the place to be reached from everywhere. The supporter is one who props. The ruler is one who rules. The witness is one who sees directly. The abode is that where one dwells in as in a house etc the refuge is the intelligent being who has to be sought, as he leads one to the attainment of desirable things and avoidance of evils. A friend is one who wishes well. The base is that place in which origin and dissolution takes place. I alone am that NidhAna, that which is preserved. What comes into being and is dissolved is myself. The imperishable seed is that exhaustless cause everywhere. I alone am that.
