help at the crunch situation

आतुरे व्यसने प्राप्ते दुर्भिक्षे शत्रु-संकटे।
राजद्वारे श्मशाने च यस्तिष्ठति स बान्धवः॥
चाणक्य नीति
āture vyasane prāpte durbhikṣe śatru-saṁkaṭe rājadvāre śmaśāne ca yastiṣṭhati sa bāndhavaḥ||
cāṇakya nīti
ആതുരേ വ്യസനേ പ്രാപ്തേ 
ദുര്‍ഭിക്ഷേ ശത്രു സങ്കടേ
രാജദ്വാരേ ശ്മശാനേ ച
യസ്തിഷ്ഠതി സ ബാന്ധവഃ
The genuine  relative is the   one who is prepared to   stand by us at the most difficult situations in life. The situations may be when you are down with serious illness, when you are deep sorrow or facing mental or emotional challenges, when there is a great famine and food is scarce, when strong enemies attack you, when you are hauled up by the law enforcers to the kings court, and when your near relative or yourself are dead and are being carried  to the burial ground

Relatives of all hues and colours throng your household when you have fame, health and wealth. But you can expect only a few of them to come to your support and assistance  when your  times are unfavourable. When you are ill you may find a large number of people watching disinterestedly   when you are being carried to the hospital, but the genuine relative will wait upon you and help in your treatment.

When you are overcome by sorrow most of the time serving  relatives will simply avoid you.

If the region is visited by a famine and food to share is in short supply, only the loving relative will have a mind to share whatever he has with you. 
Moreover, when you are attacked and abused by an enemy, most of the people around you will either remain passive onlookers or walk away seeking shelter for themselves  . Only the  relative who has love and concern for you  will stand by you.
The worst situation in life is when you are caught up at the wrong side of the law and you are being accosted and  taken away be the law enforcers. Here only the close relatives will stake their personal safety and will be of some help to you.
The ultimate loss you can face in life  is the death of a very close relative and the occasiion of his burial can be most painful. The dearest relatives will never fail to accompany you to the burial ground and console you and share  your sorrow with full heart.
