I have always believed that one can purify his heart by learn the right thing logically. For example, in order to fulfill oneself with compassion, one should learn how compassion is useful logically. In order to be devoid of anger, one should learn why anger causes us problems logically.
Recently, I have learnt that rather than theory, the greater impact is done by the living examples who live those qualities. For example, in order to learn morality we do not need to go to school and learn all the theorems and axioms of morality- rather we should stay with a person with high moral.
Staying with someone who is living example of the right character, is the path to get the right character. Also, one should read about the great personalities in past of great character. Stories and our ideal persons play a big role in our development of our character.
