In plain words
Action runs against knowledge, because action always arrives wrapped in abhimāna — the assumption 'I am the one doing this.' And knowledge, as the word is used here, is exactly this: seeing the ātman as changeless.
Close to the Sanskrit
For action would be opposed to knowledge, since it is attended by self-conceit; and the cognition of the Self as free from change is here declared to be knowledge.
