In that peace all pains are destroyed, for the intellect of the tranquil-minded soon
becomes steady.
OR When peace is attained all miseries end.
Starting from very beginning , Rama believes about the potency of current event for going to forest , but also keeps in mind that it may be beyond his paurush or according to past acts also and should not avoid it.
As per your 2nd point it applies to ours daily life also , is not it ? but how can you deny to be a divine act as your 3rd point ? I also agree about your 4th point as Rama has felt to destroy the demons and has done as per Vishwamitra rishis order previously .
Regarding other points I think and try to report later . I shall also try to relate all points with our own life as per guidance of ramcharitmanas , eg. helping to sugreeva , but being tested by him first , policy to take vibhishan in favour , try to teach and tell the humanity to ravna etc. etc.
Thank you for your contribution to this string. I am humbled that you attach the 7 points to my authorship. This is the ownership of vālmīki-ji , and his contribution . I am commenting the best I can i.e. the 'messenger'.
You mention the potency of current events for going forward into the forest. Yes, I see this and perhaps past events may have some influence in this matter. This may be true - yet vasișțha-ji informs us that current events are infinitely more potent then the past when it come to the selection of an action and its response. This does not suggest I discount past actions , nor does vasișțha-ji .
In fact within śrī rāmaḥ's birth chart, a 14 period ( daśā¹ is depicted. There are few jyotisha's that can point to this daśā period and explain it.
Why do I mention this? The 'influence' of the past. Yet when it comes to the devatā, jyotish falls short for many explanations, but on occasion is able to call out the conditions that are closer to their existence as mortal. This exile to the forest happens to be one.
I hope to hear more of your contributions on this matter overall
