Tough line to walk here. You can't come off as judgemental because his "guru" has allready warned him about "folks like you" and that will only drive a wedge...

...but you can't not tell him that you are concerned about him.

You do need to confront your friend in an indirect manner that is not threatening.

"Gee, _______, you seem to going thru some though times. Hey, if you ever want to talk about stuff call me any time." Then pause, look him straught in the eye, put your hand on his shouder and say, "I mean this very sincerely."

Then leave it alone but continue to keep yerself avilable to him/her.

And yer prayers for your friend might help, too...
