bhāvādvaitaṁ kriyādvaitaṁ
bhāvādvaitaṁ kriyādvaitaṁ
dravyādvaitaṁ tathātmanaḥ
vartayan svānubhūtyeha
trīn svapnān dhunute muniḥ
The sage, contemplating the non-difference of objects, actions and conceptions, destroys the three states of ignorance—concerning objects, actions and conceptions-- by his realization of ātmā.
Now the philosophy of advaita is made firm by teaching about the three states of perception. This is explained in four verses.
Considering non-difference in thought, action and objects with the self, by realization of ātmā, the sage destroys differences in the form of three types of sleep. One sleep is thinking of differences between objects. The second sleep is thinking of different activities for differently qualified persons. The third sleep is thinking that what I receive as a result of action belongs to me.

bhāvādvaitaṁ tad ucyate
Non-difference of conception means seeing the effect and the cause as one, like threads related to a cloth, since all these are unreal, arising from misconception.
One considers effect and cause to be one. The thread (cause) is not the cloth (effect), but can be seen as one with it. There is oneness of the effect and cause of prakṛti.
|| 7.15.64 ||
yad brahmaṇi pare sākṣāt
sarva-karma-samarpaṇam
mano-vāk-tanubhiḥ pārtha
kriyādvaitaṁ tad ucyate
My dear Yudhiṣṭhira! When all the activities one performs with his mind, words and body are dedicated directly to Brahman, it is called oneness of action.
One should offer all actions of mind, words and body to the Brahman. Since one will perceive difference in action by seeing different results, one should offer everything only to the Lord. Then there are no different results. This is oneness of actions.
