Meditation has a simple purpose. The purpose is to still the mind. The mind is a rascal, it's a monkey. It produces a thought every second.

It makes the mind quiet so that we can introspect and contemplate who we are and why we are here. When we don't meditate, we sink in this material world.

Can you actually get superpower from meditation?
Meditation can make us realize the Truth. Meditation can make us experience God in the temple of our heart, meditation can make us activate our super conscious which can communicate with the universe. Therefore yes, meditation can create a power which can be considered as a super power. But that is not the purpose of meditation. People who are trying to find a super power are running an illusory race of achievement, and they will never attain any super power - ultimately they will suffer. The way to go beyond all this is to meditate to realize we are the Divine Soul, by contemplating the Truth. We should not strive to get power which we will finally leave behind, but to use the power within to become the Divine that we actually are.
