Devotee: Can the atyasramis (most revered of all the ashramas) own property?
Ramana Maharishi: There is no restriction for them. They may do what they please. Suka is said to have married and begotten children also.
Devotee: The atyasrami is like a householder in that case.
Ramana Maharishi: I have already said that he is above the four recognised asramas.
Devotee: If they can marry, own property, etc., they are only grihasthas.
Ramana Maharishi: That may be your view.
Devotee: Can they own property and convey the same to others?
Ramana Maharishi: They may or may not. All depends on their prarabdha.
Devotee: Is there any Karma for them?
Ramana Maharishi: Their conduct is not regulated according to any rules or codes.
