Does renunciation bring arrogance? If so, how to overcome it?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Definitely. There are two types of arrogance:
1. The arrogance of possessing, of having.
2. The arrogance of letting go, of sacrifice.
Both are equally bad. In fact, the arrogance of possessing sometimes is easy to overcome, but the arrogance of sacrifice is more difficult to overcome, and may stay on for some time.
