You should know that Karma has its source in Brahman; Brahman has its source in Akshara; The all-pervading Brahman is ever established in Yajna.
Brahman or the Supreme Lord from whom all activity proceeds, is revealed by the Vedas (also called “akshara” or the imperishable or the eternal testimony). Only when duty is known as it is through the Vedas, the Brahman enables the jeeva to do the righteous duty. That Brahman is to be revealed to us through yajna, since He is always present in it. So by performing yajna, the person is contributing to the revelation of the Supreme Being, in addition to contributing to the well being of all creatures.
