Vilna Gaon in Even Shleimah: Bitachon & Histapchut

Vilna Gaon in Even Shleimah
(Beginning of chapter 3)

The importance of Bitachon and Histapchut

"Bitachon (trust in HaShem) and Histapchut (contentment) form a framework for all good traits and character. They are the opposite of lust and acquisitive desire. The most essential of all is Bitachon. One who lacks this feeling will not retain the Torah he has learned."
