Parables=Universe Knowledge?

Why did Jesus liked to talk with parables so much? They say because it is very easy for teaching very elemental principles of our lives.

Paulo Coelho in "El Alquimista" promotes the idea of "reading the language of the Universe". I think this is "interpreting all the things that occur in life and learn from them".

Many Proverbs, Sayings and Quotes were build with this principle. That is why (I thing) they are not commonly related to human being activities, but related, for example, to flora, fauna, climate, or things that occur in our world.

To think that many of the answers of the struggles in our mind could be hidden in these natural events, is something I praise for this Design of the Universe. This is one of the things that makes me keep the idea of the Universe have been made by Someone, or Something.
