Metaphors, analogies and etc, are used for education/learning purposes. Thus, metaphors, analogies and etc are mainly used by and for students (people whom are new to spirituality or religion) whom did not yet, experience the point being made in the metaphor, analogy or etc.
Describing or making a point about something in a metaphore, analogy, or the like, is describing or making a point about something inderectly, and is wide open for interpretations, as opposed to decsribing or making a point about something directly, clearly and to the point.
