Thursday Tishrei 8 5704

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.

Notes:

Micha 6:8.

Brachot 17a.
