just a clarification:
"the eye of a needle" is the night gate of a walled city... on which a camel must crawl to enter the city... hope this does not disspell all your illusions of this teaching.

ie. a rich man must crawl to god due to his heavy load and burden as the way is narrow and hard would be a better "non-figurative" translation.
