God is reality. If we ignore the reality within us, we will be compelled to seek it elsewhere. Like Esau in the old biblical fable, we will end up selling our birthright for a mess of pottage.
"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you" means reality is always here. When we are aware of the reality within us, we will be self-sufficient and we will have no need to attach to things.
Attachment is just another word for addiction. When we fear losing something, we will hold onto it as if it were the tree of life.
But when we realize that we already have what we are seeking, we will be free from the fear that fuels our addictive behaviors.
