I think, the Guru wanted to be humble. Hinduism does not have any concept of conversion.

But, it is also Guru's responsibility to share the knowledge or guide the "INTERESTED" followers, irrespective of any barriers. Only forcing/proselytizing to the unwilling is not meaningful or worthwhile, hence is not allowed in the vedic scriptures.

We have many Vedic/Sankrit scholars, translated and authored scripture related works with the westerners. We have many new adherents to our hinduism, accepted by our gurus from ancient times.

Plus, the philosophical understanding behind Consciousness is that we are born with the knowledge/qualities (bound to our birth body), but our birth nature can become expanded with experiences/knowledge obtained during this birth. Anyone should be welcomed to new wisdom/experience/knowledge.
