What happens to the wiseman's apparent AK?

ये ज्ञानिनं निन्दन्ति द्विषन्ति दुःखप्रदानं कुर्वन्ति तान्प्रति
ज्ञानिकृतं सर्वमागामि क्रियमाणं यदवाच्यं कर्म
पापात्मकं तद्गच्छति |TB-74|

Now this section is going to haunt many.. I know becasueit haunted me when I was studying and struggling to understand vedantam.

Everything was smooth sailing until about this stage of our TB boat ride.. river was calm.. a few ripples here and there.. nothing major.. but now the boat seems to be accelerating and totally out of control.. It is as if we are reacing the edge of niagara Falls. 

Not really.. let me explain to the best of my ability.. I have no confusion, but the readers might get some. If they do not have any confusion now, this write-up will surely create the confusion.!

We know waht happened to his 'apparent" AgAmi puNyam.. similarly there must be AgAmi pApam also.. why so? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY HUMAN BEING NOT TO PERFORM ANY KARMA.

kRShNa says in geetA.. "na hi kashchit khsanam api jAtu tiShThai akramkERt.." even a mosquito can not stop itself from performing any karma..

As a minimum, the wiseman will avoid pApam naturally and perfoem only puNyam naturally.. but what if he walks over a live branch of a tree..? or walks over the pavement and kills a few bugs..? or due to his OWN PK baggage ends up performing highly adhArmic karma? we just do not know.. So it is quite possible that he appears to accrue some pApam as well.. Now what happens to that?

ये ज्ञानिनं निन्दन्ति = thos who talk ill of a wiseman

द्विषन्ति = hate that wiseman

दुःखप्रदानं कुर्वन्ति = choose to hut him delibertely out of their own hatred towards that wiseman

तान्प्रति = towards such people

सर्वमागामि क्रियमाणं ज्ञानिकृतं = EVERY SINGLE AGAMI KARMA PHALAM BY THAT WISEMAN

यदवाच्यं कर्म = EVEN THE UNTHINKABLE OR UNMENTIONABLE KARMA PHALAM

पापात्मकं = WHICH IS NOTHING BUT PAPAM

तद्गच्छति = goes 

Seems quite unfair.. is it not? Afterall, I did observe this gnyAni.. I had thought of many pApam, he does it & gets away?
