Mother wants to show Maya that doing the right thing is instinctual rather than a debate or dilemma. Mother had Maya sleeping with baby. In the middle of the night, Mother wakes Maya up because Maya had unconsciously moved the baby to protect baby under her arm. Mother says, "See, you don't have to think about doing the right thing. If you're for the right thing, then you do it without thinking."
