Kaljug the Dark Age

"The Dark Age of Kaal Yug is the dagger, and kings are the Butchers; righteous has sprouted wings and flown away. InThis dark night of falsehood, the moon of Truth is not visible Anywhere. I have searched in vain, and I am so confused. InThis darkness, I cannot see the way. In egotism, they cry out in pain. Says Nanak, how will they be saved?" Ang 145, Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

This is how we will be saved:

By devotional worship and loving adoration, your soul shall be enlightened.
You shall go to that home, and live forever.

The benefactor Lord listened to the cries (of humanity) and sent Guru Nanak to this world.
He washed His feet, eulogised God and got his Disciples drink the ambrosia of his feet.
He preached in this darkage (kaliyug) that, saragun (Brahm) and nirgun (Parbrahm) are the same and identical.
Dharma was now established on its four feet and all the four castes (through fraternal feeling) were converted into one caste (of humanity).
Equating the poor with the prince, he spread the etiquette of humbly touching the feet.
Inverse is the game of the beloved; he got the egotist high heads bowed to feet.
Baba Nanak rescued this dark age (kaliyug) and recited ‘satinam’ mantr for one and all.
Guru Nanak came to redeem the kaliyug. Bhai Gurdas Vaaran
