Agnipariksha of Sita was purportedly done to prove the purity of Sita. The question did Rama do it to convince Himself or to convince the public? The capital H in Himself points to the fact that Rama is all knowledgeable and doesn't have to convince Himself. If he had to convince the public is He not putting Sita to humiliation?
My solution is He should not have subject Sita to such an ordeal even if it was to convince the public. But Rama being omniscient, it was done for a purpose. The story of divinities doesn't end with one Avatar. They are interlinked and form a continuum.
So if Sita was subject to that ordeal there should be a balancing event that sets the event of Agnipariksha right. Only when we see the whole we get the truth. Agnipariksha I believe is only one side of the story. The rest is to follow.
But why should divinities project something not correct and set a wrong model.? Because it is to hide the truth and then present it later for maxim impact. That I believe is one of the tricks divinities frequently use to do something in a telling way
Renuka and others, what do you think?
