Q: Please explain how the world goes–what is the starting point and the end point?

This is best explained in Autobiography of a Yogi (first edition facsimile published by Crystal Clarity Publishers–View full text online here). Some of the major upanishads also give detailed descriptions of how the universe emanates from the Absolute–and also why. The Bhagavad Gita also deals with these matters. I recommend you get information directly from these authoritative sources rather than a synthesis from me.

Q: If we consider this world as cyclic when will Satya Yuga arrive?

This is also discussed quite completely in Autobiography of a Yogi as well as in The Holy Science by Swami Sriyukteswar Giri.

Please be aware, that Kali, Dwapara, Treta, and Satya are matters of prevailing consciousness at some point in time. But they are also indications of individual development. Therefore, we can inwardly be in Satya Yuga even when Kali Yuga prevails outside. And we can be in Kali Yuga inside even when the world in general is in Satya Yuga.

The answer to this all is meditation.
