What metaphors are used in The Illuminated Rumi by Maulana Jalial al-Diin Riumii?

Rumi uses the metaphor of the black sky that can't stand the moon, hating the powerful and avoiding invitations. He avoids love and doesn't want wealth. All control is pretended, and authorities are fakes or just tools of something greater, the writer adds, using a metaphor of a brush wielded by a painter.
