In common English usage, the word's meaning is looser, and nirvana often refers to a mental state rather than a physical one. A person might claim that she'd achieved nirvana as a result of listening to some particularly tedious New Age music, for example. She might also say that, for her, a hot fudge sundae is nirvana.
