Does Chapter 18 support the idea of keeping a Guru's teachings secret? Explain the chapter's perspective.

No, Chapter 18 directly refutes the idea that a Guru's teachings should be kept secret. While acknowledging that some believe what a Guru tells one person should not be told to others, the chapter dismisses this as "merely imaginary and a meaningless fuss." It strongly advocates for sharing the Guru's wisdom, stating that even instructions received in dreams should be shared for the enlightenment of all. To support this view, Chapter 18 provides the example of the sage Budhakaushika, who narrated his dream-vision of the Ram Raksha initiation to everyone. The chapter's stance is that the Guru is like a monsoon cloud, showering bliss on all without distinction.
