The Revelation of the Besht
Once the Besht traveled through a village. A gentile threw a stone at him. He began to sink in the ground, and the more they wanted to rescue him, the more he sank.
The Gentiles ran after the Besht and asked for mercy that he should save the Gentile. He said that if the lad promised never to do it again, he would be rescued. And that is indeed what happened.
Afterward, the Besht said: “The “world” did not at all feel that this was a miracle.”
