According to Chapter 18, should a Guru's teachings be kept secret or shared openly?

Chapter 18 strongly advocates for the open sharing of a Guru's teachings. It directly refutes the idea that what a Guru tells one person should not be told to others, calling this notion an 'imaginary and a meaningless fuss.' The chapter provides a historical example to support this, citing the sage Budhakaushika who narrated his dream-vision of the Ram Raksha initiation to everyone for their enlightenment. As Chapter 18 explains, the Guru is like monsoon rain clouds, showering the water of self-bliss with love for all, not just for a select few, emphasizing the universal nature of the Guru's grace.
