George Harrison also tells Mr. Unger, ...we are working on a new album and single with no particular release date in mind which should give us an opportunity of doing the best tracks to date. It is such a good feeling knowing that we do or don't do whatever we please musically and its just trying to get the urge to do it now. referring to Sgt.

UNGER: George, is meditation a substitute for something else?
GEORGE: Yes and no. Like, for us, it's a substitute for acid, for LSD. UNGER: Could you give me an example of a specific mantra?
GEORGE: No. I couldn't. I mean, I could tell you my mantra, but there is no point, you see, because the whole thing of the mantra is...the mantra is most effective at the subtlest level. You see what I mean? If I speak the mantra out loud, then it's bringing it to the surface. (2)
