Can you choose your own Guru ?

Once a couple from Ulhasnagar, who were followers of Bhilwara Darbar, visited Darbar Sahib Halani, Ajmer. They told Sai that we were desirous of your darshan and the wife said that some days back she dreamt that she had made Sai her Guru. This is why they had come from so far and requested Sai to fulfill their wish.
Sai said, “You already have a Guru and Guru cannot be changed. Today, because of a dream you are leaving your Guru and making me your Guru, tomorrow you may find one more and leave me. This is wrong!”
Many people come to Darbar and tell Sai that we have come to make you our Guru. Sai smiles and asks them as to how this is possible? Can a son tell the same to his father! Just like a father gives birth to his son, same way a Guru finds and makes His disciples! Many Gurus try and expand their activities in order to attract more devotees and disciples. But our Sai feels that the number of devotees we have, are enough. He says that I want only those many devotees of whom I can take good care.
While highlighting the glory of a true Guru, Sai also cautions us that a Guru is always there like a surname, we do not have a choice to change or make anyone our Guru!
