Can the atyasramis (most revered of all the ashramas) own property?

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.
