What is Chapter 18's stance on sharing a Guru's teachings with others, and what justification does it provide?

Chapter 18 directly addresses and refutes the idea that a Guru's teachings given to one person should be kept secret. The text dismisses this notion as an 'imaginary and a meaningless fuss,' asserting that sharing the Guru's words does not render them fruitless. To support this view, Chapter 18 provides the example of the sage Budhakaushika, who openly narrated his dream-vision of the Ram Raksha initiation for the enlightenment of all. The chapter further reinforces this by comparing the Guru to monsoon rain clouds that shower the 'water of self-bliss' with love, implying that spiritual wisdom is meant to be shared universally, not hoarded.
