[Avodah] Why are beards considers so choshuv?

[Ben Waxman]

It is in the nosei kelim in the SA in the chapters dealing with shaving. 
Some of the facial hairs (where it is assur to shave) act as pipelines to 
higher worlds. I don't know what that means.

On the other hand, I was advised by a kabbalist to shave my kuku because it 
adds din to the world.
