NEW DELHI, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- The late Apple founder Steve Jobs' wandering in India in search of spiritual enlightenment resulted in gaining intuition of design sense, reported the Press Trust of India Monday quoting his biographer as saying.
Jobs' biographer Walter Isaacson told the media that in the 1970s, Jobs spent seven months wandering across India looking for spiritual enlightenment and "it turned out not to be a waste of time", according to the report.
Isaacson said when Jobs returned from India he said, "The main thing I've learned is intuition, that the people in India are not just pure rational thinkers, that the great spiritual ones also have an intuition," according to the report.
"The simplicities of Zen Buddhism, really informed his design sense, that notion that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, " the biographer was quoted as saying.
