What has been told to you so far is the Sankhya view. Imbued with this knowledge, O Partha, you will cast off the bonds of action.
So far I have described to you in a nutshell Sankhyayoga; now listen to Buddhiyoga as settled. When a person masters this yoga, he does not suffer bonds of karma, even as a victor wearing a hard armour can bear the rain of arrows unscathed.

In this verse can we say Lord Krishna is telling Arjuna to read behind the lines, the holy texts and Vedas ? To see the Subtle thread, the Supremacy of Spirit over man ?

It seems like your notion of "supremeacy of spirit" over man is a presumption. You have read the the text with a bias: that spirit and man are at odds and that one (spirit) needs to override the other (man). It's a common trap that many fall into.
Without the benefit of the text, I cannot comment on the particular Sankhyayoga knowledge that is said to release man from the "bonds of action".
However, the comment about not suffering the bonds of karma is simple. When you master Buddhiyoga, you will live in this world as if you were protected (from karma) by armour. Your actions will exist in pesent time. The beginning and the end. The cause and the effect. Simultaneously.

it seems pretty straightforward - i don't know where you get this, "reading between the lines", stuff. in fact, there are two statements, here; one concerning the casting off of the bonds of action, and one concerning the same regarding karma. krishna merely tells arjuna that, with these practices, he may release himself from the bondages of action and karma. again, pretty literal, considering the source.

One kshatriya speaking to the other on a battle field. If the confidence is shaky, that is the dharma of a sarthy to guide the master in all respects. Confusion however persists in the mind of Parth seeing the kith and kin as opponents. as a kshatriya Parth was shaky on the battle field, showing his weakness and sarthy pumping in courage and encouraging to take up arms and fight.

Yes, I suppose one could say that.
