When the Beatles were practicing meditation in Rishikesh, India, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the leader of Transcendental Meditation, gave a lecture on the harmony between nature and man.
John and Paul were so impressed by the content that they wrote their own songs.
John wrote Child of Nature and Paul wrote Mother Nature's Son.
Both were great songs.
However, some time later, due in part to an awkward breakup with the Maharishi, John decided not to include Child of Nature on the White Album.
John had feelings for the song itself, so he tried to adapt it in a way that would hide the existence of the Maharishi, such as changing the place name Rishikesh in the lyrics to Marrakesh, Morocco.
However, the feeling of being out of focus could not be shaken, and this song was never released during the Beatles era.
