Renunciation doesn't mean giving up things externally but rather it means diligently pulling out the weeds from the heart.
The most transformative and gentle humility and pride. But they transform in opposite ways.

We get sufferings in life so that we become sober and listen to Krishna's message.
The dirty wax of egotism accumulated in the heart prevents us from clearly hearing the Lord's voice within. A guru, with the stick of knowledge, cleans our hearts. It's really ugly to see what may come out, but by following patiently, we keep cleaning.
