Out of the twenty-two vars recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib, Asa Ki Var is one such spiritually impactful var, that mentors an ordinary person to become Divine-like (an enlightened being full of Divine-virtues). The mentoring encompasses all facets of life, such as religious, social, cultural, moral, spiritual, political, etc. while singing the glory of the Timeless Being. Though the saloks in Asa Ki Var describe the worldly aspects in detail, the pauris contain praise of the Formless.
