Jobs did speak up about his LSD use at some points, but I think he probably transcended that and followed the practices outlined in one of his favorite books: "Autobiography of a Yogi", which I'd highly recommend to anyone interested in consciousness.

“Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life. LSD shows you that there’s another side to the coin, and you can’t remember it when it wears off, but you know it. It reinforced my sense of what was important—creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could.” Steve Jobs

In actual practice, Steve Jobs had a lot more in common with Napolean Bonaparte than Aurobindo Ghose IMO.

edit -- Aurobindo and Paramahansa Yogananda were both Bengali, but different teachings..

That's a great comparison that I never thought of! Thanks!
