This is what the Guru Granth Sahib says about this month:
ਭਾਦਇ ਭਰਮਿ ਭਲਾਣੀਆ ਦੂਜੈ ਲਗਾ ਹੇਤ ॥ ਲਖ ਸੀਗਾਰ ਬਣਾਇਆ ਕਾਰਜਿ ਨਾਹੀ ਕੇਤ ॥ ਜਿਤ ਦਿਨਿ ਦੇਹ ਬਿਨਸਸੀ ਤਿਤ ਵੇਲੈ ਕਹਸਨਿ ਪਰੇਤ ॥ ਪਕੜਿ ਚਲਾਇਨਿ ਦੂਤ ਜਮ ਕਿਸੈ ਨ ਦੇਨੀ ਭੇਤ ॥ ਛਡਿ ਖੜੋਤੇ ਖਿਨੈ ਮਾਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਸਿਉ ਲਗਾ ਹੇਤ ॥ ਹਥ ਮਰੋੜੈ ਤਨ ਕਪੇ ਸਿਆਹਹ ਹੋਆ ਸੇਤ ॥ ਜੇਹਾ ਬੀਜੈ ਸੋ ਲਣੈ ਕਰਮਾ ਸੰਦੜਾ ਖੇਤ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਰਭ ਸਰਣਾਗਤੀ ਚਰਣ ਬੋਹਿਥ ਪਰਭ ਦੇਤ ॥ ਸੇ ਭਾਦਇ ਨਰਕਿ ਨ ਪਾਈਅਹਿ ਗਰ ਰਖਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਹੇਤ ॥7॥
bhaadhue bharam bhulaaneeaa dhoojai lagaa haeth ॥ lakh seegaar banaaeiaa kaaraj naahee kaeth ॥ jith dhin dhaeh binasasee thith vaelai kehasan praeth ॥ pakarr chalaaein dhooth jam kisai n dhaenee bhaeth ॥ shhadd kharrothae khinai maahi jin sio lagaa haeth ॥ hathh marorrai than kapae siaahahu hoaa saeth ॥ jaehaa beejai so lunai karamaa sa(n)dharraa khaeth ॥ naanak prabh saranaagathee charan bohithh prabh dhaeth ॥ sae bhaadhue narak n paaeeahi gur rakhan vaalaa haeth ॥7॥
In the month of Bhaadon, she is deluded by doubt, because of her attachment to duality. She may wear thousands of ornaments, but they are of no use at all. On that day when the body perishes-at that time, she becomes a ghost. The Messenger of Death seizes and holds her, and does not tell anyone his secret. And her loved ones-in an instant, they move on, leaving her all alone. She wrings her hands, her body writhes in pain, and she turns from black to white. As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma. Nanak seeks God's Sanctuary; God has given him the Boat of His Feet. Those who love the Guru, the Protector and Savior, in Bhaadon, shall not be thrown down into hell. ((7))
