Knowledge V. Action

It always comes down to the interpretation of religious texts - the Mimamsakas and Vedanatas differ on their views of the Vedas. The Mimamsakas emphasize the focus on rituals while the Vedantas focus on knowledge. To the Mimamsakas, knowledge isn't enough; while the Vedantas believe that knowledge is all that matters focusing on the Upanishadic values.

The Vedantas focus on the relationship between atman and brahman; a type of knowlege acquired outside of space and time.
