When a person goes to work for his livelihood, and he has Bitachon that he’ll be Matzliach, this is Kodesh. But when he relies completely on Hashem, it’s Kodesh Kodoshim. Little babies are innocent without any Cheshbonos. And the Gr”a Zatzal says that the main Passuk of Bitachon is: וֹמִּא יֵלֲﬠ לֻמָגְכּ יִשְׁפַנ תהלים קלא ב I’m in Hashem’s hands like a baby who has no Cheshbonos and relies completely on his mother. We can suggest that the wings of the K'ruvim symbolize being in Shamayim, i.e., with Hashem Himself, the way: ˄ֱאָה ִק םָדָאָה תֶא הָשָׂﬠ םי רָשָׁי טכ ז תלהק He originally created Man; i.e., upright.
The original Ratzon Hashem was that a person should have enjoyment in Gan Eden and be totally relaxed. This is the ideal Bitachon, like Adam HaRishon in Gan Eden, without any Cheshbonos of: םֶחֶל לַכאֹתּ ˃יֶפַּא תַﬠֵזְבּ בראשית ג יט Hishtadlus for Parnasa.
The Malbim (and Chasam Sofer) say that: ˂וּרָבּ ַבּ חַטְבִי רֶשֲׁא רֶבֶגַּהה' ירמיה יז ז someone who has Bitachon in Hashem gets a Bracha, and: יֵרְשַׁא וֹחַטְבִמ 'ה םָשׂ רֶשֲׁא רֶבֶגַּה תהלים מ ה one who has Bitachon in Hashem is fortunate, refers only to someone who does zero Hishtadlus. Dealing directly and only with Hashem is the biggest Bracha and the true Bitachon.
Why do Chazal say: ַא ִפילוּ ָר ָשׁע ַהבּוֹ ֵט ַח ַבּ ֶח 'ה ֶס ד ְיסוֹ ְב ֶבנוּ ילקוט תהלים סוף פרק לב even a Rasha who has Bitachon in Hashem will be surrounded by Chesed? It says in last week’s Parsha that a Malach will go with Klal Yisroel, however: אָשִּׂי אֹל םֶכֲﬠְשִׁפְל אכ גכ he won’t tolerate your sins.
But if it would be Hashem alone, He WOULD tolerate our sins. R' Pinchos of Koretz Zatzal says that in His infinite goodness, Hashem Himself can tolerate all the most horrific sins ever since Adam HaRishon. The problem is that Tzaddikim are pained by the sins of the world, and this causes all the Tzaros, like the Mabul of the generation of Noach, etc. Only Moshiach himself is totally pure in tolerating sins like Hashem. The Baal Bitachon who has only Hashem, even if he is a Rasha, he’ll still get unending Chesed, because being close to Hashem means total tolerance even for the worst sins. The Meshech Chochma says that: קָבְּדִת וֹבוּ כ י בקע “you shall cling to Him” means to have Bitachon. So Bitachon means being stuck and pasted on to Hashem. ( ֶד ֶבק means glue).
And the word: ִבּחָטוֹן Bitachon means: ָטח (tach) stuck on! The more you do Hishtadlus or you worry, the less you are: ָדבוּ ַל קבּ וֹ אֵר עםָלוֹ connected to Hashem, and the less Bracha. R' Chatzkel Levenstein Zatzal said that you get close to Hashem mainly by thanking Him and giving Him: ְשׁ ַב ח praise (and not so much by asking Him with Tefila) (see Rashi in Brachos). But the Sefer Ha'Ikarim says that the biggest thanks you can give Hashem is by having Bitachon in Him.
With Hoda'ah you are close; but with Bitachon you are stuck, and you are one with Hashem. In human relationships it’s nice to be thankful, but trusting makes you one with that person. You aren’t suspicious or skeptical of him. How does anyone feel towards those who don’t trust him? It causes a rift and a tension, despite this person’s general appreciation of him. Someone who trusts you shows that he truly respects you and is comfortable with you.
