Before the contrast gets comfortable: the Talmud has its own come and see.

פוק חזי מאי עמא דבר — puk chazi mai ama d'var, go out and see what the people are doing (Eruvin 14b; and at Berakhot 45a, asked what the law is, the answer is simply go out and see what the people do).

⭐ So both corpora see — and they are looking in opposite directions. The Zohar's chazi turns inward, into a text, and finds a vision. The Talmud's chazi turns outward, into a marketplace, and finds a custom. One is revelation; the other is fieldwork. Same verb.

This app draws both arrows and rules on neither. A tidy chiasmus would have been easier to render and would have been false — the same reason the wrapping direction, the sway, and the rack are all left open elsewhere in this house.
