"For one who does not cling, who has cut off craving at its root, there is nothing to take up and nothing to let go of. That person, having abandoned craving, is free from all bondage"
-The Buddha, in the Sutra Nipata.

Lama Dawa Zangpo’s Commentary:
OK, here the Buddha is saying that if we don't cling, if we have let go of craving or desire, he says, cut off craving at the root, then there is nothing to take up. There's nothing else to do. There's nothing needed now to let go of. The person that has done this, who has really let go of attachment and desire is free from all bondage is no longer trapped. So, giving up attachments and craving, meaning a sense of dissatisfaction, I need more, I want more, I don't have enough, that is bondage. That is suffering. That is worry and stress and anxiety to not have what one wants. It's the wanting more, more, more that is the bondage that keeps us trapped, that keeps us from being free. This is the Buddha's message here.
