Whenever righteousness declines

Whenever there is a decline of righteousness and a rise of unrighteousness, O Bharata, then I manifest Myself.

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥

yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānirbhavati bhārata .
abhyutthānamadharmasya tadātmānaṃ sṛjāmyaham ॥

This is the Lord's promise to His devotees. However deep the darkness, divine power always appears to protect truth and dharma.

Life lesson: do not lose hope at the sight of injustice; stand firmly on the side of truth.
