Jobs's interest in Eastern spirituality,  Hinduism,  Zen Buddhism,  and the search for enlightenment was not merely the passing phase of a nineteen-year-old. Throughout his life he would seek to follow many of the basic precepts of Eastern religions,  such as the emphasis on experiential prajnā, wisdom or cognitive understanding that is intuitively experienced through concentration of the mind.

Years later,  sitting in his Palo Alto garden,  he reflected on the lasting influence of his trip to India: Coming back to America was,  for me,  much more of a cultural shock than going to India. The people in the Indian countryside don't use their intellect like we do,  they use their intuition instead,  and their intuition is far more developed than in the rest of the world. Intuition is a very powerful thing,  more powerful than intellect,  in my opinion.  That's had a big impact on my work. Western rational thought is not an innate human characteristic; it is learned and is the great achievement of Western civilization.  In the villages of India,  they never learned it.  They learned something else,  which is in some ways just as valuable but in other ways is not. That's the power of intuition and experiential wisdom.

Coming back after seven months in Indian villages,  I saw the craziness of the Western world as well as its capacity for rational thought.  If you just sit and observe,  you will see how restless your mind is.  If you try to calm it,  it only makes it worse,  but over time it does calm,  and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things--that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more.  Your mind just slows down,  and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment.  You see so much more than you could see before.  It's a discipline; you have to practice it.  Zen has been a deep influence in my life ever since.

At one point I was thinking about going to Japan and trying to get into the Eihei-ji monastery,  but my spiritual advisor urged me to stay here.  He said there is nothing over there that isn't here,  and he was correct.  I learned the truth of the Zen saying that if you are willing to travel around the world to meet a teacher,  one will appear next door.
