Or as Fakhruddin 'Araqi puts it:

 

The lover desires to see the Beloved with Certainty's Eye, and wanders

a bewildered lifetime in this aspiration. Then suddenly with his

heart's ear he hears a voice;

" The magic spring

that gives eternal Life,

is in your own heart

but you have blocked the flow. "

I would not have thought to see those

two as saying the same

 

but juxtaposing them as you do...

 

why yes!
