In a separate tweet, using #CyrusMistry, Mr Goenka also talked about the unpredictability of life.
“Life is like the oil within a lamp. It can be measured, but the pace at which it burns depends on how bright and fierce the flame. And there is no predicting when the lamp might die, when it could have blazed great while longer. Such is the unpredictability of life!” he wrote.
