Yoda’s point was that the Force did not make distinctions such as ‘size’, and that it was Luke’s preconceptions and biases that were preventing him from lifting the fighter.
Luke saw a difference between lifting small rocks and lifting the fighter, and his perceptions caused his attempts to fail. Yoda was trying to teach him that the only real obstacle was his disbelief and the failure to react correctly resulting from the disbelief.
For Jedi, there really isn’t such a thing as ‘trying’. There is only success, and not permitting yourself to succeed.
This would be a lot easier to explain if you people understood more about Taoism.
As you put Jedi, they stink of Voldemort’s “there is only power and those too weak to seek it”. While the Force is omnipotent, Jedi are not, and, while their self-limitation by beliefs is a powerful reason of it, it is not the only reason. Jedi Council could not break through Palpatine’s Force Concealing not because they believed Force Concealing to be unbeatable but for two reasons: defense is simply stronger than offense in this field (likewise with Occlumency and Legilimency in Harry Potter) is the first, they had too little information to focus solely on Palpatine (there were probabilistic cues, but probabilities for someone like Mas Amedda, given their information, were still high even if they fully believed Dooku) is the second.
