How does the author of Chapter 15 address the readers, and what does the ocean metaphor signify?

In Chapter 15, the author humbly addresses the listeners, comparing them to a vast ocean. He asks for their grace and attention, stating that just as the ocean accepts all rivers without distinction—whether the pure water of the Ganges or a muddy village stream—he hopes the listeners will accept his stories. He expresses his desire to "immerse myself in you" and asks them not to rebuke him. This ocean metaphor, detailed in Chapter 15, signifies the author's wish for the audience to be magnanimous and receptive, creating an environment where the spiritual stories can be shared and received openly, leading to fulfillment for all.
