When Steve Went Off to an 'Ashram' Before Getting into Apple's Job
, Jobs was often seen attending after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard Company, where he soon worked as a summer employee with Steve Wozniak, who later became the first employee of Apple.After his graduation from high school in 1972, Jobs enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Oregon, but dropped out after first semester. Even then, the businessman had his own way of learning and earning. He audited classes at Reed, returned Coke bottles for food money, and didn’t refrain from getting weekly free meals at the local “Hare Krishna” temple.
Needless to say from where did he receive “call” for seeking enlightenment backpacking around India?
Jobs returned to California in 1974 to take a technician job at popular video games manufacturer Atari, primarily to save money for visiting India in search of spiritual enlightenment – just like the way ancient spiritual teacher Gautama Buddha was enlightened in India.
And Jobs is said to have returned as a “Buddhist” indeed, at least in appearance with his head shaved and in traditional Indian attire.
During his stay in India, Jobs experimented with psychedelics, calling his “acid” (lysergic acid diethylamide) experiences "one of the two or three most important things he had done in his life".
After nearly two years of his return from India, Jobs founded Apple in 1976 along with his college friend Steve Woznaik. Was he already enlightened?
Well, some at Kainchi Ashram, where Steve stayed, located in Nainital in the India’s northern state of Uttarakhand do believe that Steve Jobs got the vision to create Apple at the ashram.
What actually drove the pancreatic cancer survivor, Jobs, to India or how he got “deeply” spiritual remains unexplained by him, but what Apple’s former CEO wished for Microsoft founder is apparent.
“He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.

I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.

Dear Mr. Wright,
I recently read your conversion story as you posted last year and some of the comments that followed. I was intrigued that you expressed the conviction that Christianity was more mature and philosophically advanced than the Eastern religions.
I have a friend, who is a Catholic convert, but struggles with letting go to of her attachment to Hinduism and specifically Hare Krishna.
So, in what ways do you see that Christianity is more mature and philosophically advanced than Eastern religions?
I say that Christianity is more mature and philosophically advanced than the Eastern religions.By Christianity, I mean both Orthodox and Catholic, Nestorian, Coptic, Monophysite, Melkite, Protestant and so on. Middle Eastern and Russian and Greek sects of Christianity tend to be ignored by modern historians: I am confining my comment to the mainstream that all branches that the river of life we call the Church have in common.
By Eastern religion, I mean Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto. Of other Oriental creeds I make no claim. My claim is further restricted only to those aspects of the creeds known to me by hearsay through casual reading or conversation. I have never been a member of any of them, and therefore speak as an outsider. I do not include Sikh, Jain, or other creeds with which I am unfamiliar, nor tribal legends and lore from Siberia to Indochina. I do not include Mohammedanism here as an Oriental religion: it is a Christian heresy, albeit a successful one, which has committed successful matricide against its Church in the lands of Africa and Asia which formerly were orthodox.
“More mature” does not mean “more true. “More advanced” does not mean “better” or even “I like it more.” Those claims, if made, would be defended by other arguments. While I personally happen at this stage of my life to think that the Christian creed is more true than Indian or Chinese creeds, this does not enter into the argument, which must stand or fall on its own merits.
