The Path of Practice is described as the Seven Branches of Enlightenment (Bodhi) as follows:

1. Thorough investigation of the Principle
2. Brave effort
3. Joyous thought
4. Peaceful thought
5. Mindfulness
6. Concentration
7. Equanimity

Thus the ariya proceeds to the last stage: i.e., the Path of No-More-Learning. Then the firm conviction that he has realized the Four-fold Truth will present itself.
