Torah Lessons (5703)	Chumash: B'racha, Chamishi with Rashi. Tehillim: 44-48. Also 109-111. Tanya: Furthermore, (in addition (p.507)..malchut of Atzilut) (p509).

A resume of the fifth method:

H - Hatznei'a..., "Walk discreetly with your G-d," [1].

One must take care not to be conspicuous or ostentatious in the slightest.

It is said "Man should always be artful in piety." [2]

The artfulness lies in seeing that his piety not be noticed at all.

We know that a number of the early Chassidim concealed their true selves, and when discovered were sincerely distressed.

This is the Avoda of Teshuva that comes from Hatznei'a Lechet, being discreet.
