Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the parts: 'become' = change into, 'one' = a single unit, and 'with' = together/alongside, so a learner can infer 'become one with' = become united or in harmony with. The phrase is a metaphoric but regular composition (become + one + with) and has clear cross-linguistic parallels, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Become one with may come from the image of two things joining so closely they seem like a single thing, for example a river flowing into the sea or a musician moving as part of the music. That's why it now means 'to be in complete harmony or unity'.
