A person must do good deeds in secret, so that it will seem to people he doesn’t act in piety. But before he comes to the highest level he must be pious openly, because if he isn’t open about it he will want to be pious with all his inner being, and it’s possible that he’ll be drawn after worldly motivations and instead of acting for the sake of Heaven he’ll act not for the sake of Heaven. (The Baal Shem Tov).
