Abstract
The Upanishads presented a time of higher inspiration, in which the pursuit of knowledge broke down all barriers of caste and external formalities, in which the breadth of soul could unite within itself the noblest values and great aesthetic and spiritual outbursts of vision... Epic hymns to self-knowledge and world-knowledge and God-knowledge', expressions of the mind in which philosophy and religion and poetry are made one, because this religion does not end with a creed. Although things have changed a lot since the Upanishadic times, - there are many timeless gems that we can recognize and draw inspiration from even today: they can teach us among others - that a true participation in the passion of inner knowledge is centered around Is and inspires. Values can best be taught. There is no end to that knowledge, - it all depends on our search, and with what courage we proceed into the regions of the unknown, what path we take, which will lead us to the desired knowledge or wisdom - Regarding the creative possibilities involved in knowledge expression and communication with students, which in the case of Upanishadic sage teachers range from the ability to teach through silence and reach the core of students with empathy, to rich and colorful explanations, one Even with a pinch of humor – the possibility of learning and teaching through silence, creating a magical space full of beauty, in which creativity and curiosity for knowledge and education for sensitivity that is beyond speech, equally have their place. In the process of social development old traditions become obsolete for people. New traditions have taken their place. But this process of replacement is not always smooth. It is facing a lot of opposition from some conservative sections of the society. At the same time, it should also be kept in mind that not every 'old' is old and not every 'new' is right, hence to maintain harmony between the two, there is a need to maintain coordination between the two. This work can be done through educational philosophy.
