Long explanation:
The ~어/아 서다 [eo/a seoda] construction is used in Korean grammar to express that one action follows another naturally. The action in the first part of the sentence is something that is completed before the action in the second part of the sentence. It implies causality, but not in the way of making something happen, more in the way of allowing something to happen. It's used in the natural sequence of events, where one thing leads to the next.
