Siddhis - The Power to Speak in Languages

Lately I have been exploring the powers or Siddhis exposed on the Sutras book number 3 and the concept of Samyama which is the pre-requisite for the Sidhis has captured my imagination.

Samyama  is said to be the culmination of the last three branches of the ashtanga, concentration, meditation and samadhi, only all togehter.  Once Samyama is attained, that is when the super powers become possible.

The second one (right after knowing the past present and future) is that of speaking in languages.

III.17  Words, objects and ideas are superimposed, creating confusion; by samyama, one gains knowledge of the language of all beings. 

Words are basically spells, some more powerful than others.  But what gives a word power? if I say the word "no",  most of us agree on its meaning, even if we do not want to hear it, or want to transform it into something else, pretty much universally we know what is meant.  However, when we take a word like "love",  wow!, how do we ever agree on what THAT means.

I wish I could have seen the disciples of Jesus when they spoke "in languages".  I wonder weather they really sort of downloaded the languages of everybody.  Or, perhaps used a mix of languages, some from latin, some from Aramaic, some in Hebrew, and they just had enough awareness and were so present  that they could pick and chose the words that would have:

1- The least level of confusion in interpretation
2- The right vibration
3- Were easily understood because they came with clear intention

When I think of modern times good communicators I think of Tolle or Chopra.  They tend to speak very much in "sutras" or short sentences, with carefully crafted sentences, balanced words, premeditated intention as in what it is they want to convey.

A recent Tweet from Chopra, speaking on how to make our desires come true and in the context of least effort, read: "choiceless awareness, subtle intention".  How is that for consice, to the point, right intention.

This yogasutra super power is one that I love, perhaps because I love to write, and would love to perfect this act.  I may not be near samyama, but I can intend it.

I know we are not supposed to get carried away on this, however, what is your favorite superpower?  walking in water? becoming small? walking through walls? omnipresence?  one that is not even mentioned in the yogasutras?
