I know what you mean, but I think the two together have to be taken as a
whole.  I know for myself, Lila had a far greater whammy on my head and
heart but I think that was because Zen had prepped my soul along those
lines. After ZAMM, I was waiting for something.  I felt the truth in the
first, but like a "call and response" song, I knew there was something more
I needed.

With Lila, I felt the completion.  I understood where to go from there and I
felt the satisfaction a thirsty wanderer gets at the well.  I wouldn't have
thirsted if it hadn't been for ZAMM and I couldn't have drunk if it hadn't
been for Lila.  So really, as a teaching the two go together and in proper
context and time.  In my life, anyway.
