When R’ Chaim Shmuelevitz started giving talks on bitachon, he would talk about the difficulty in attaining bitachon. His aunt, Rebbitzin Yoffen – the daughter of the Alter of Novorodok – found out that R’ Chaim was saying this. She called R’ Chaim to come and explained to him that her father would always say that bitachon is a “gringeh zach” – “it’s an easy thing.” From then on R’ Chaim would say that bitachon is easy.
While this might not be the only opinion regarding bitachon, this is the opinion of the Alter which we will be discussing.
