Does Chapter 18 advocate for keeping a Guru's teachings secret or sharing them openly? What justification does it provide?

📖 Chapter 18

Chapter 18 strongly advocates for sharing a Guru's teachings openly. It dismisses the idea that instructions given to one person should be kept secret from others, calling such a notion an "imaginary and a meaningless fuss." The text asserts that not only direct instructions but even spiritual guidance received in dreams should be told to all for their collective enlightenment. As proof, Chapter 18 cites the example of the sage Budhakaushika, who famously narrated his dream-vision of the Ram Raksha initiation to everyone, thereby setting a precedent for the open dissemination of sacred knowledge.
