This is the famous verse from Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, (Verse 7-8),

अभ्युत्थान- मधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्- ॥४-७॥
परित्राणाय- साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्- ।
धर्मसंस्था- पनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥४-८॥
"Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata
Abhyuthanam-adharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham"
Paritranaya sadhunam vinashay cha dushkritam
Dharmasansthapanart-haya sambhavami yuge yuge"
Meaning: In this verse, Krishna says that whenever Adharma (Evil) overpowers Dharma (Good), then he body himself at the forefront.

Krishna is the supreme godhead who guides individuals struggling with their lives and seeking goodness! so now, let us reflect on his embodiment to learn some amazing lessons he urges us to follow to unleash the best out of ourselves!

Following are the Top 5 Lessons Lord Krishna gave through his incarnation:

1. Always Value The Love of Your Parents

Krishna is known by the names like "Nand Laal" (Son of Baba Nand), "Yashoda Nandan" (Son of Maa Yashoda), "Devaki Nandan" (Son of Maa Devaki). He teaches that the love of the parents must always be cherished and respected. NewsGram

Krishna was originally born to Maa Devaki and Vasudev, but then during his infancy, he was immediately carted off to Gokul to be saved from his evil-minded maternal uncle Kansa. There, Maa Yashoda and Nand Baba raised him! Krishna has always shown love towards both, his birth parents and those who raised him. There are numerous tales of love, fun, and laughter of Krishna with Maa Yashoda where Krishna teases her with love and in-return received her love in abundance. Later, when he reached adulthood and came across the truth about his birth parents, he liberated them from the clutches of evil Kansa by defeating him and relieved both of them of their misery.

2. Always Be a True and Generous Friend

Krishna's best friend Sudama was poor and had no money, but when he visited him at his Kingdom for demanding help, Krishna welcomed him with heartfelt generosity, and his eyes got filled with tears of joy! He himself cleaned Sudama's feet. NewsGram

Tales of the friendship of Krishna and Sudama are in a literal sense what we call "Friendship-Goals". in a world where everyone tries to downcast each other by devaluing friendships and relationships, none other than Krishna can better teach that how the friendships are valued!

He himself cleaned Sudama's feet and joyfully accepted rice as the gift Sudama bought for him because the poor man had nothing to offer to his best friend, Krishna!

Lord Krishna understood Sudama's extremities without even Sudama uttering a single word, and to a surprise when Sudama reached back home, he got astonished to see his home transformed into gold with all precious wealth!

Of course, yes, Krishna doesn't say to gift your friends materialistic wealth as he did, rather he teaches that never downcast/betray them whenever they need you!

3. Always Render Pure Love and Start Loving
"Unconditionally"
