Chapter 18 discusses the idea of sharing spiritual teachings. What is the chapter's stance on keeping the Guru's instructions secret?

Chapter 18 directly addresses the notion that a Guru's words should be kept secret, dismissing it as 'merely imaginary and a meaningless fuss.' The author argues strongly against this idea, stating that the Guru's instructions, even those received in dreams, should be shared with everyone for their enlightenment. To support this viewpoint, the chapter provides the example of the sage Budhakaushika, who narrated his dream-vision of the Ram Raksha initiation to all. This emphasizes the generous, universal nature of the Guru's wisdom, which is likened to monsoon rain clouds showering bliss upon everyone.
