Yes — in Jain philosophy, darshan is indeed a part of upayog.

• Upayog means the active consciousness of the soul.
• It has two broad aspects:

1. Darshan — general awareness / perception 2. Jnana — specific knowledge

So, darshan is narrower, and upayog is broader than darshan.

In simple words:

• Darshan = first, non-specific awareness
• Upayog = full functioning of consciousness, including both perception and knowledge

This is an important idea in Jain karma and soul theory, because the soul’s nature is to know and perceive.
