Actually the eye of the needle is a gate in Jerusalem. This gate was very narrow and the rule by the king was a camel had to be able to walk through it without removing any packs. Any packs that were removed became property of the king. Thus the quote means that for a rich man to get into heaven he has to be willing to give up all his worldly possessions.
