True worship means that your eyes are on God and not on others. He is your audience of One; everyone else is in the cast. Jesus was scathing in His judgement of the scribes and Pharisees, whom He called hypocrites because they did their good deeds to be seen by men.
Don't do your acts of worship for people. Instead, Jesus said acts of worship are to be done in secret for Him to see rather than made a public show.
Matthew 23:5-7 "Everything they do is for men to see....they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues, they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them "Rabbi."
