How does the author use the analogy of an ocean in Chapter 15 to address the listeners?

In Chapter 15, the author employs the analogy of an ocean to humbly request the grace and attention of the listeners. The text explains that just as a vast ocean accepts all rivers—whether it's the pure water of the Ganges or a muddy village stream—without commotion, the listeners are asked to accept the author's stories. This comparison is a plea for them not to turn him away, as the author wishes to immerse himself in the listeners, emphasizing that it is not good to desert the lowly. This metaphor highlights the author's humility and the inclusive, non-judgmental nature he hopes his audience will adopt.
