Yogasūtra II.13 - sati mūle tad-vipākaḥ jāti-āyuḥ bhogāḥ

As long as [afflictions] are at the root [of actions], their consequences affect [our] state of life, duration and experiences.

The afflictions usually lead to faulty choices and execution of actions. They will influence our attitudes and behaviour during and after the action. These will in turn influence further actions and so the cycle of Karma continues.
