I kinda already did but I'll go in more detail. So we know, Akal Purakh sahib means Timeless Being. He is a multi-faceted Being, a multi-dimensional Being, operating in and as all levels of reality. Since Akal Purakh sahib is so vast and is operating in and as all layers of reality, Saints from various backgrounds saw him in different ways and called him by different names. If you read Gita or Bhagwad Puran, the Saints there called him Krishna, Hari Rai, Murari, Gobind, Gopal, Narayan, Vishnu, Ram, etc. When Guru sahibs are speaking these names Krishna, Hari Rai, Murari, Gobind, Gopal, Narayan, Vishnu, Ram, etc., they are referring to Akal Purakh sahib only. So we must understand that Krishna, Hari Rai, Murari, Gobind, Gopal, Narayan, Vishnu, Ram, etc. these are not separate beings or material bodies or mortal men or angels or anything like that. They are referring to the One Primal Being, Akal Purakh sahib, and nothing else. They have no other existence apart from being the descriptors and characters of Akal Purakh sahib. The old stories of Krishan ji, may seem insignificant to many here. Some would even say that they are make-believe fairy tales. But when you read these stories with this distinction in mind, that this is a characteristic representation of Akal Purakh sahib, then you will see you will see the deeper meanings present therein. You will see that the stories are referring to the various states and activities of our mind. And then when you make that connection between the stories and your mind, you will then separate the wheat from the chaff and obtain real gyan from the stories.

What are you defining as Akal Purakh?

It's not a double meaning. The names, characters and images of - Hari Rai, Murari, Krishna - and those names unique to Sikh tradition - Waheguru - are all referring to Akal Purakh sahib. Read the parts of the Gita where Krishan ji reveals himself to Arjun after Arjun learns to see who he is (by shedding his desire for material things). That Vishal Swaroop that you see in Indian TV serials, that is an attempt to portray that multi-faceted Being, that multi-dimensional Being, that is composed of all the Gods of all religions. That composite of all the Gods, radiating light and heat like a thousand suns, that is Krishna, that is Akal Purakh sahib.

Same with this guy -

History has only been recorded for a couple thousand years. Before that it was all orally transmitted via stories. And before us, there was not even an oral record of history. All history before that was contained within the body. That's why you can obtain gyan when you go within. It is all stored in the Body and Consciousness. But as for Yugs, you are asking some good questions that also very difficult to answer - I see Yugs as archetypal representations of the Corruption of the Mind that happens over time. The Yugs are also spoken about as historical time but I think they are fundamentally archetypal representations of the Mind. I think its fairly easy to understand Yugs on a microscale, it happens whenever you partake in Satsang for example. While you listen to a good katha or kirtan, you are in Satyug, but when its over and you leave, you start to forget that blissful state, you go into Treta and then Dwapar and then a few days later you've forgotten eveything and now it's Kaliyug. You go back to your old ways. Then you go to listen to another inspiring katha again, you are back in Satyug, and then it degrades again. So this cycle happens in our daily life also.
