Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'sense' denotes a feeling or awareness and 'nirvana' denotes a state of perfect happiness/peace, so 'sense of nirvana' straightforwardly means a feeling of that state. This follows the common 'sense of X' construction found in many languages and standard English, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Sense of nirvana comes from the old word nirvana, which people imagined like a candle flame being blown out so pain and strong wants stop. That's why a 'sense of nirvana' now means 'a feeling of perfect peace or happiness'.
