Translation

If you are attached to this life you are no practitioner.
If you are attached to the three worlds you have no renunciation.
If you are attached to getting what you want you are no bodhisattva.
If you grasp at self-existing things you have no correct world view.
(KHS)

The one who clings to this life is no practitioner.
The one who clings to samsara has no renunciation.
The one who clings to selfish aims is no bodhisattva.
The one who clings at all has not the view.
