A short time after Steve Jobs passed away, “We’d like to place an order for 500 copies of Autobiography of a Yogi. Do you have that many?” those books were for the memorial service for Steve Jobs, the famous founder of Apple, inspired by Eastern spirituality. Copies were handed out at Jobs’s memorial. Marc Benioff implies that Steve Jobs’s keys to success were the spiritual qualities he had developed. “He went to India, And he had this incredible realization that his intuition was his greatest gift, and that he needed to look at the world from the inside out.” For example, Jobs believed in possibility. “He could invent things that no one had ever dreamed of,” no roadblocks in his mind — Some part of him always stayed very open and child-like. He was able to take setbacks as blessings. “The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again” “Remembering that you are going to die,” he said, “Is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. no reason not to follow your heart.” He deeply valued, and trusted, the power of intuition. “Your time is limited,” he said, “So don’t waste it living someone else’s life. ...most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Towards the end of his life he told his biographer, “I’m about fifty-fifty on God.” He just didn’t know. But every year Jobs would read Autobiography of a Yogi. At death, perhaps, some things became clearer. The day before he passed away, he told his sister that he was going to a better place. His final words, as he lay on his bed at home, were, “Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.”
