The lord tells us
פתחו לי פתח כחודו של מחט ואני אפתח לכם פתח כפתחו של אולם
open for me like the prick of a needle, and i'll open you a door like the door of the temple [which was huuuuuuge]

So we're all wondering, c'mon hashem, didn't i ever open at least a prick of a needle????? why don't you help me out?  :'(

the answer my holy friends, is. We need to know where to prick the needle and which needle to prick, but once you do.... hashem himself promises KI'PISCHO SHEL ULAM!

i believe gue/gye is definitely a good enough needle to start with... so get your needle and start trucking!!!

that's like my other pshat in this, we often think, hashem, such a davening, i didn't open a chudo shel machat, i opened a pischo shel ulam!!!
so obviously there are such immensely high levels of spirituality that we can reach that are considered pischo shel ulam, that that awesome shemone esrei we just did isn't even considered chudo shel machat, can you imagine how gevaldig it'll be 2 reach pischo shel ulam!!!!!!!!!!!!

adaraba! Maybe what the Chazal are telling us is that ONLY if you realize that you cant really do any more by yourself than "pischo shel machat", and the rest is seyata dishmaya, then you will be zoche to the Pischo shell ulam!
and thats why the person who says "I didn't open a chudo shel machat, I opened a pischo shel ulam!!! " is not zoche to the siyata dishmaya he would get if he realized that his part is BEDAVKA the pischo shel machat.

And don't forget...we are trucks; we are not a lingenfelter corvette. The needle starts off slow and gradually picks up speed, a speed which we can maintain. We do not need to get anywhere fast. We are in a slow hurry, closer to the Pagani Zonda.
