כשהוא רואה שעבודתו גדולה מחבירו לא יתגאה כדאיתא. ואל יאמר אני גדול מחבירי.

The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020

If a person sees that his own service of HaShem is greater than others, he should not be arrogant, God forbid. This is as stated in Otiyot d’Rabbi Akiva,⁸³ “One should not say in his heart, I am greater than my fellow.”
