137. MAAS AASIN JAGAT BAASIN 

(बारहमासा = Bârahmâsâ (‘Bârah’ meaning twelve and ‘mâsâ’ meaning months) is a traditional style of poetry composition by sants of early times wherein it was attempted to give a message for each of the twelve months of the year. In Hindi calendar the twelve months are: Chait/ Chaitra (coinciding roughly with March – April), Baishâkh (April – May), Jeth/ Jyeshth (May – June), Âshâdh (June – July), Sâwan/ Shrâvan (July – August), Bhâdo/ Bhâdrapad (August – September), Âshvin (Sept – Oct), Kârtik (Oct – Nov), Agahan/ Agrahâyan (Nov – Dec), Pûs/ Paush (Dec – January), Mâgh (Jan – Feb) and Fâgun or Fâlgun (Feb – March). Similarly, sants also composed Chaumâsâ (‘Chau’ meaning four and ‘mâsa’ meaning month) consisting of verses for four months, generally four months of Rainy Season or Monsoon. Here is a Bârahmâsâ composed by Sadguru Maharshi Mehî Paramhans.]


Âshvin:
O Dwellers of the World! Please awake and be alert. So short-lived is this life, why do you live so forgetfully on this Earth? As hard as one might endeavour to endear it, this world has never been any one’s for good. True peace and bliss comes to him alone who painstakingly has forsaken the attachment to this world.||1||
Kârtik:
Of a drop of urine (semen) this illusory base body has been formed. It is full of unspeakable excrement (sweat, urine, faces, earwax, blood, fat etc.). Why do you pride, O foolish and utterly ignorant one, in this body? O smug fellow, meditate on His name, forgetting smugness for this transitory body.||2||
Agahan (Agrahâyan):
In this incendiary nature whosoever hankers after sense-gratification. Ultimately embraces defeat, receives agony, and never gets satisfaction. Keep aloof from all the objects of senses knowing that they can only yield misery. So, be steadfast in service to Guru and attend Satsang regularly.||3||
Pûs (Paush):
Shun vices like stealing, lying, adultery, violence and intoxication. And be immersed day and night in satsang, Service to Guru & Meditation. All who have lived thus, have gone across the sea of existence – whether a king, warrior or paupers, Brahman, untouchable, illiterate as well as learned - all will undoubtedly swim across worldly waters.||4||
Mâgh:
O crazy one! You have moved into the jaws of the hungry tiger of death & decay. Save yourself by embracing meditation; come back to senses quickly. By dint of regular meditation, run away from the jaws of death. If you let this opportunity go, weeping & repenting would become your fate ||5||
Fâlgun (Fâgun):
Living wantonly, you have amassed a huge cache of luxuries. Tall palatial house, gem-studded jewellery, but are yet deprived of happiness. Great dynasty, handsome personality, and beautiful wife are all yours. Still peace & happiness elude you, for want of meditation, even in your dreams.||6||
Chaitra (Chait):
If you really long for happiness, detach yourself from numerous actions. Love the holy feet of Guru, & be absorbed in meditation. Observing rites & rules, chant and self-mortification, pilgrimages & fasts, sacrifices and alms. Can never compare to the fruit gained due to even a moment’s dhyân!||7||
Vaishâkh:
One might have studied & learnt all the branches of learning. But peace does not come, if mind is restless for in meditation it is lacking. One might trot all around globe, giving captivating scholarly lectures. One might be surrounded by massive crowds, yet without meditation peace him deludes. ||8||
Jyeshtha (Jeth):
Soul came to indwell the body, descending from its abode. It forgot its original home, lost its senses in the lures of this world. Come out of stupor, o Soul! Your home lies at the pinnacle of creation. Don’t you delude yourself in the illusion here, which is actually a trap of destruction. ||9||
Âshâdh:
O Dear Soul, you have fallen so low, & live in the depths of pitch dark ignorance. Emancipate yourself with the compassion of Guru; stare at the point form of the beloved. Keep gazing intently without a wink, in front of the middle of two eyes. That radiant point will appear automatically, keep looking at it bringing down the curtains of the eyelids.||10||
Shrâvan (Sâwan):
Bye & bye, keep climbing towards that captivating peak. And leaving behind the glimpses of star, moon, sun, and other lights, absorb yourself in the sound.This unintelligible unfathomable sound resonates spontaneously in everybody. This quintessential Word, the purest Name of God, the Name of Râm, is the bed-rock of all existence.||11||
Bhâdrapad (Bhâdo):
Clutching on to the support of the God’s Name, free yourself of the woes of the world. None has tasted the steady bliss without meditating on that Word. Says Baba Devî Sâhab, listen intently, O Mehî, to the Divine Sound. All sants sing in unison, without Guru-Bhakti success cannot be obtained. ||12||
